Rostyslav Shtyn (Ukrainian: Ростислав Романович Штинь, born September 19, 1957) in the town of Khodoriv located in Lviv Oblast, Ukraine is a Ukrainian-Canadian[1] musician, producer of music, film and television projects, a businessman and entrepreneur.
He played a figurative role in the development of Ukrainian music during the period of perebudova, also known as Perestroika in the Russian language, and during the formative years of an independent Ukraine. As Ukrainian music specialist and critic, Oleskandr Yevtushenko writes: "The first swallow of Ukrainian show-business was Rostyslav Shtyn, what a "new Ukrainian" he was back then, when such a label didn't even exist. It was 1992.[2]"
