Vlad learned about the Ukrainian show X-Factor from the Internet after watching a television clip with a performance of one of the contestants of the project’s X-Factor and when he read that the second season casting was announced he made up his mind and went to Donetsk at once to have a try.

The audience rose in applause and all four judges said \"Yes\" to Vlad.

Vlad took part in all of ten X-Factor broadcasts and took the third place by results of viewers voting. In the finale of the project he performed «I`m walking away» in a duet with the British star Craig David. On March 6, 2012 the Ukrainian CTV-Channel launched the show \"Star Ring\" which was a contest of finalists of two X-Factor\" seasons and vocalists of \"Ukraine’s Got Talent\".

During the live broadcast of \"Star Ring\" on April 10, 2012, which the Channel’s management decided to make the last broadcast, the viewers had to select the winner of that project. Vladislav performed his \"visiting card\" - «Hallelujah» song, trying to impart new feelings to it. Vlad’s performance did not left the audience untouched and according to results of viewers’ voting he became the winner of the show and was awarded the money prize in the amount of UAH 500,000 to shoot a clip and record a song.
