For me, there isn't a better way to mark the beginning of the new year and at the same time to send out my best wishes to you all than with a new composition. The year that is behind me had its fair share of challenges, and good times as well. I am proud to say that all of the compositions that I've done in the past year have had great reception, and have also landed me a spot in the semi-finals of two of the biggest songwriting competitions in the world (The International Songwriting Competition and The UK Songwriting Competition). This year, I hope to bring you many more compositions that will, hopefully, push the bar even further and be a major step forward in every way. By no means an easy task but with your support, I know that I just can't go wrong.
At this point, I would like to mention all of the people who have participated in the creation of this work that is before you. The people who have been with me from the very beginning of my career, my friends from the By Heart Studio who always bring out the best in me and my music and my dear friend Manos who always manages to bring my music with a unique work of art that only he can do. I owe so much to these people. Also, I would like to mention the guest artists who have made this track very special for me: an extraordinary guitar player and my former teacher Dragan Markovic Gaga, and an amazing violin player from Sankt Petersburg Maria Grigoryeva. Thank you for being a part of this... iTunes GooglePlay Spotify Tidal

What is the first thing that comes to your mind when you wake up? If you are living something that could be called a "modern" life by today's standards, chances are that many things would come to you all at once, and most likely none of them would be very pleasant. The old Chinese philosopher Confucius once said that life is actually quite simple, but that we are the ones who insist on making it difficult. Well, I believe he had a point there. Because at the end of the day, what is our life all about? Quite simple, it is about us.
As selfish as this statement may seem, I know that deep down all of us know that there just isn't any other way. We only get to live our own life and not somebody else’s, don't we? So why do we keep pushing ourselves last? Because we need something or someone to take the blame for us not taking our life head on. It's easier to have an excuse for not doing something, than to actually do it. It is easier to take the shortcut that leads nowhere, than to actually take the long journey that might never finish. It's easier to be a passive participant of this one world that we all share, than to be an active fighter who's going for a cause that might already be lost. I will never be like that, and that's why I'm here, because I
am.

There is just no place like home. Wherever we are and whatever we do, it is a great comfort to know that no matter what, we will always have that special place that will be there waiting for us. A home is so much more than just a plain structure made to keep us warm and safe. It is a fine balance between memories, emotions and the overall atmosphere that gives us the sense of peace, serenity, and a sense of belonging. Unfortunately, in today’s world, many people are simply denied that. We bear witness to the tragic events that are forcing people to leave everything behind, and look for their happiness elsewhere. They head into the unknown never knowing if they will ever come back, or find another place to call their home. SoundCloud

Shortly after the release of the track, the video has arrived. There aren't too many words that can be used to describe this piece of art, which was again brought by my good friend Manos. We seem to share that special artistic connection, which enables us to have a perfect understanding of each others work, which in the end always results with a video that, in my opinion, represents the perfect combination of two different and yet so similar arts. Make sure that you don't miss it, as it is available on my videos page, as well as on my YouTube channel.

I am very happy to announce the first video for my track "The Art of Love". Many have tried to define love, but the very beauty of it lies in the fact that it can't really be defined, it can't be explained and it can't be classified. It just has its own way that is not ours to understand, but to follow and appreciate every step on it that we make. So I don't try to do the impossible, I just try to bring through my music that intangible feeling that may be something new to you, something old, or even long forgotten. The video captures the atmosphere and the emotion of the music in a very delicate way that really wouldn't be possible without the help of my good friend Manos, who has made a great effort to bring this story in a visual form in a same way that I did with music. You can find this video on my videos page, as well as on my YouTube channel.

Two new tracks: "Forgive Me" and "The Art of Love" are available now for free download and streaming on my music page, as well as on my SoundCloud. I am constantly working on new pieces of music which will be published here on a regular basis. You can also find the latest information about it on my Facebook and Twitter, as well as some insights on the latest music I am currently working on.
