Ihor Yakovlevych Perchuk (born July 15, 1956, in Rivne) is a Ukrainian and Israeli composer and producer. Perchuk's name is still associated with the development of Rivne jazz in the 70s of the last century, as well as the development of Ukrainian pop music in the 80s and 90s.
In 1976, Volodymyr Shvartsapel invited Ihor Perchuk to join his band. At that time he was studying at the institute, working as an accompanist at the Palace of Pioneers, and leading a small ensemble called Meridian.
In 1983, Ihor Perchuk joined the Volyn VIA Svityaz to replace Oleksandr Serov, who moved to Moscow. The group then consisted of 14 people. Ihor Perchuk was the first to arrange for Svityaz "Moon Road" by Pavlo Dvorsky and Mykola Bakai, which became the hallmark of the Volynians. When Misha Musienko started singing it, the auditorium would burst into a flurry of applause at every concert.
In 1983, he met the poet Mykola Lysenko in Kyiv. In close collaboration, they wrote "Blue Eyes" and "Music Sounds" for Vasyl Zinkevych.
Now Perchuk lives in Israel, producing his daughter Olena. He is also a successful businessman.
