He have studied music in Latvia, Denmark , Norway, Sweden and Netherlands. During the school period he was active as a session musician. Coming from classical , jazz and avant-garde background as a strong pianist and improviser, Rudolf got a master degree in “Nordic Composer” 2017. At the same time Rudolf started to be more interested in analog synthesisers and his vocal development. Around that period the idea of Vēstnieks was born. In Latvian “Vēstīt” means “to tell” and “Vēstnieks” means “ambassador” 
 Sound and energy in “Vēstnieks” is created choosing Latvian language. Rudolf has a soft, airy falsetto voice and that can naturally bring fragile and intimate feel. Music is based on analog and digital synthesisers and can be manipulated with electronic drums, and audio samples from nature. “Vēstnieks” can bring back the vibe from 1980s, 1990s pop. Some of the music can drive the folk, gospel, and soul. And some of the music can give you new vibrant discoveries. Vēstnieks NEW ALBUM ‘FM Nostalģija” (2024) is dedicated to the all the greats of Latvian music, and; to his father -music producer, multi-instrumentalist, composer - Raimonds Macats. And conceptually is dedicated to eternal love. In the album cover photo you can see young Rudy together with legendary singer Olga Rajecka.
