Born in Kyiv, Ukraine, composer and multi-instrumentalist Stacey Yerofeyeva was immersed in Ukrainian folk music since an early age. Her late father, Kost' Yerofeyev, was the lead singer of the group Ruthenia, whose music was highly influential during the independence movement in the late 80's in Kyiv.

After immigrating to Toronto, Stacey took up jazz piano studies, completing her Bachelor of Music degree at Humber College. It was here that she met a handful of talented young musicians, who shared the vision of joining the worlds of Ukrainian and contemporary music: bassist and co-leader Mark Rynkun, nylon-string guitarist Bart Milczarczyk, and electric guitarist Patrick O'Reilly.

DoVira released their first single 'Nese Halya Vodu' on July 10th, 2012, and are currently working on their debut studio album. This multi-media album will be accompanied by video footage from the recording sessions.
