During this month Vlad got the opportunity to travel to Amsterdam and record a Christmas song titled: “Christmas Without You” with a group of 25 other popular individuals in a grouping named “Hello Christmas”. The group hopes that the song will reach the UK Christmas number one spot in order to aid the UK based Make a Wish Foundation.

Vlad hopes to branch into different types of videos after he leaves school.
