Biography

Song ‘Rijeka’ is the first song of my new Slavic mythology project Alkonost of Balkan. It speaks about a pilgrimage of finding yourself, breaking the chains that have been holding you back, and accepting your authentic truth which is the biggest privilege of all. No matter what we believe today or not, the sign of an educated, open person is to respect the steps of our pagan ancestors and learn from them to properly nurture the present and create a better future. In addition, what we see today only in sci-fi movies and books where heroism and heartfelt courage was a natural phenomenon is what our ancestors actively lived, and some still live today to bring the spirit of true cultural heritage on which we walk preserved. I'm interested in the soul, that which is uncorrupted and unchangeable from the beginning of time and in the music that makes a person shiver with a sense of truth and strength, sound that draws you to the very roots of the earth with sound and message, and the heart and hands rise to the sky to those days when people were heroes, honorable and honest. The project Alkonost of Balkan takes us back to what is really important: at a time when people were connected in communities and worshiped nature and simple things of heart and soul. When ego was just a way of defense in a life-threatening situation, not a lifestyle. Inspired by the ethnic sounds of the entire Balkans and our Slavic heritage, film elements, and videos shot exclusively in nature. N
