Biography

Born on September 21st 1979, in small town, Negotino, Central Macedonia, I was singing my first words. I was raced to love music, to love life. Music was totally in my blood. I was just 4 when I was already singing in front of the crowd! I never had problems with that. Even then, I knew that I will do that for all my life. It wasn’t easy, I was trying very hard. That was just a small conservative town. But I had my mother, my hero, who thought me that with honest hard work I can do anything.
And I started. I was 16 when I started singing in clubs, with my own band! For the first time in my life I was earning my own money, and I was so totally devoted to that! Then I recorded my first song.
At age 17 I had new band, Saga, and we recorded just one song with them, but it was a huge hit at all radio stations in Macedonia.
At age 18 I moved to our capital city, Skopje, and I joined the University - Faculty of Journalism.
In the same time, I already singed in all big festivals in Macedonia, had a few hit songs, and some awards with my new band, Big Bang. I was a band person, band singer. And I loved being that!
My solo career started year 2000, and that was a brand new start for me! Since that time I'm working as a solo artist. As you are listening to my music, I hope that you can feel how much honesty and love I've give inside them, how big part of my heart I left there, in those lines that I'm singing, and I'm sure that after that experience you will feel that we are becoming close as we already new each other!
I love acoustic instruments, piano, sound of crying guitar... that just feets to me, as a person! And my music is like that... pure, sometimes very tender, sometimes leads to aggressive, but is always full with emotions, real emotions! In my world, music is the way for saying important things, which are always very emotional. Music is Emotion! The biggest!
I was very lucky, cause in all these years I had chance to work will very talented people, the best from the best. I worked with composers, producers and arrangers, who thought me a lot of things. In my career I had chance to work, and still working with the best team ever, Vesna Malinova as a composer and lyrics writer, my friend and soul sister, in studio and private life; Robert Bilbilov, composer and producer, very talented young man, who made for me two huge hits; Darko Tasev as a arranger and a guitar player, who did very good stuff for me; Kokan Dimushevski, legendary musician, keyboard player and producer, legend as a musician and as a person, I have so much respect for this man!
Mladen Markovic, composer and producer; Zlatko Simeonski-Zeko, and his recording studio Do Re Mi; Toshe Pop - Simonov, legend in music production and great guitar player; Davor Jordanovski, composer, arranger, producer and pianist, my first music pal, who now lives and works in Canada, in his own studio, Big Band (as our former band) etc.
My biggest satisfaction is that the audience immediately recognized my music, my energy, honesty and love in my approach to music. All my singles become huge hits, and No.1 on all music charts in Macedonia.
My first album, "Vozovi" ("Trains") took few awards for the best album of the year, and my song, "Prashina" ("Dust"), won as the most played song of the year.
Since 2001, my songs constantly entered in the 10 most played songs of the year. However, those awards, never ment a lot to me... I was always working and singing for the people, and award from their hearts is my biggest award ever for me.
My new album "2007" was released on February 14th 2008. I hope you enjoy in what I'm doing just for you, honest, good people.
