About
Dear listener,
I was born in Serbia, in a family where music was the trade. My grandfather played trumpet, my father is a musician, and my sister Vanja sings.
I studied jazz piano in Munich with Leonid Chizhik, received a scholarship from Berklee in 2010 and finished my Master's in 2012.
In October 2014 I played my solo debut at Carnegie Hall, and gave what I earned that night to charity.
Along the way: a trio record of Balkan folk songs played as jazz, an electric quintet at Nublu in New York, and more and more music for film.
Now I also write it down. The Atlas is my book of voicings. Jazz Piano Master is the app that teaches them.
Keep the music alive.
