 Konstantin Zhigulin was born in 1972 in the Siberian city of Barnaul in Russia. He studied piano and flute in music school and music college. As a young man, Konstantin began composing music. His compositions encompass a wide variety of sacred and secular musical styles from medieval and baroque to soft rock. These include spiritual hymns, symphonic works for chamber orchestra and choir, several chamber music works, and various instrumental solos.
Shortly after becoming a Christian in 1994, Konstantin began composing his many exquisite a cappella hymns for use in the church. These original hymns are sung widely in churches of Christ in the Russian-speaking world.
In 2007 Konstantin graduated from the Institute of Theology & Christian Ministry in St. Petersburg. Currently, Konstantin's ministry in the church is composing new hymns, leading singing and teaching worship leadership.
About 40 of Konstantin's hymns have been translated into English and are being sung by churches in America.
