Maksim Shcherbatyuk is a 12-year-old singer from Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania. His first public performance happened in September 2006 during a church service. He sang one-and-a-half verses of his favorite carol that he just learned and rendered the priest and parishioners speechless. Since then Shcherbatyuk has sung at many different concerts and festivals where he always had a warm reception. He likes to play piano, soccer, chess, judo and — like every kid — video games, which somehow does not prevent him from having all A grades on his report card. Shcherbatyuk attends South Fayette Middle School.

In 2011, Shcherbatyuk joined the fabulous Pittsburgh Youth Chorus at Duquesne University where he has a chance to learn a beautiful art of music as well as perform with very talented group of children.
