Mother tongue: Croatian
Occupation: Drummer
My object: drumsticks
My story about it:

Waiting to meet again, long telephone conversations, travelling back and forth between Germany and Croatia are the things that marked the first three years of my relationship with my wife. To put an end to all this, I decided to move to Germany. Here I began studying jazz. What I noticed from the very beginning of my studies was that the music that I carry within me is Balkan music. This is what I brought with me to Germany from my homeland. Today, I combine jazz and the typical and irreplaceable sound of the Balkans. In short: jazz is in my head, Balkan music in my blood and that is how I sound.
