I was born on a beautiful sunny island in the Mediterranean, with golden beaches, tanned bodies, warm ocean water and endless days. My appreciation for Croatia's beauty inspired my music. 'There's a radiant feeling, I get, at least once a day when the curtain of every day lifts, when you stop whatever you're doing, and envision this place for its amazing beauty. The sun coming up, a gentle breeze, the mountains at sunset; it really can't be expressed in words, but in one's heart there's a feeling of thankfulness and pride. There's a haunting sense of gratitude that you feel to be a part of this place. It seems to me that this is what music is all about. I was the kid who loved Art & Music at a very young age. Although that didn’t score points with my peers, it paved the way for a career as a professional musician. I’m a musician with a difference: I believe the world needs more people avidly pursuing their passions.

But my path hasn’t always been clear. When I started out as a freelance guitarist, I tried to project the ‘right’ professional image. Though professionalism is important, I believe that people prefer to do business with ‘real people.’ Familiarity, a touch of whimsy, and an organic approach to music. For me, success comes when my clients are as delighted with my work as I am. Praise like this affirms that I’m heading in the right direction:

Though I live, work, and play in Queens, New York, I love to collaborate with musicians, consultants, and artists everywhere. If we ever meet in person, remember that I have an exploitable weakness for pizza.
