How Vladimir Tokarev Built Pulseblend Studios® and Launched Pulseblend Times

BRADENTON, Fla. — Vladimir Tokarev released his first track as Pulseblend in August 2025. Since then, the independent recording artist has built a business around making, releasing and publishing music. Pulseblend Studios® now operates a record label, a music publishing arm, a custom-song service and an online gift shop. Tokarev also founded Pulseblend Times, an outlet for satire and music updates.

At the center of the business is a simple idea. A birthday, a wedding or a family story can become a song. Customers tell Pulseblend who the song is for and share the details that make the story theirs. Tokarev uses that material to guide the lyrics and musical direction, with AI tools as part of the production process.

The custom-song service grew alongside Tokarev’s own catalog, which spans house, reggae, orchestral music and more. He releases recordings through his independent label, publishes compositions through Pulseblend Studios Publishing and distributes his releases worldwide. That’s the model he’s building from his phone, with one person overseeing the work from the first idea to release.

The online shop extends the brand into apparel and gifts. Pulseblend Times gives it a place to publish music updates and poke fun at itself. In one early story, the outlet reported that its own founder had been caught breathing next to his brother at Englewood Beach. The photo was ordinary. The headline treated it like a scandal.

Tokarev started by releasing his own music. Today, someone can discover a Pulseblend track, commission a song for someone they love, shop the brand or follow its headlines. Each of those grew out of the same independent music project.
