Last night I was going through YouTube looking for new bands to add to my playlist on my phone, when I came across this music video Down & Dirty – Move it. I watched the video and really fell in love with the vocalist’s voice, not realizing who it is. It was Denis Stoff, the one who left Asking Alexandria.

Denis Alexandrovich Shaforostov known by his stage name Denis Stoff, is a Ukrainian musician. Shaforostov showcased an early interest in music through his YouTube channel “above92” which contains vocal and guitar cover videos of songs back to as far as 2008. Apparently in 2012, Shaforostov was the lead vocalist for Make Me Famous, I didn’t know this until last night.

After Make Me Famous had broken up, Shaforostov made a new band named Down & Dirty. The band was officially under the Sumerian Records label like his last project, and released their first single and music video in December 2013 titled “Move It” which is the one I found and had to actually download to my phone.

Since Denis Alexandrovich Shaforostov “Denis Stoff” left Asking Alexandria in October,  it has me thinking maybe he is going back Down & Dirty?
