Hi everyone! Welcome to my Myspace:-) I was born 1981. in Valjevo. Since I was kid, I was interested in playing drums, and I've got my first drumset at the age of 6. Firstly, I started to play rock music and to perform it throughout clubs in my hometown. Sometime later, I've decided to become professional drummer so I started to work with the most famous drums professor in Serbia Mr Miroslav Karlovic. During 3 years of work with this great man and teacher, I've significantly upgraded my playing skills and music language. Later in the period of last 7 years, I performed with many Serbian musicians and bands in the domain of pop, rock and jazz music. I have also been the member of The Belgrade Dixieland Orchestra for 3 years with whom I've played at lot of jazz festivals in Serbia and abroad (Sweden, Hungary, B&H...). Beside that, I was hard working on my music skills, and become more interested in contemporary jazz and jazz fusion music. Trying to create my own style of playing I experiment with Balcan complex odd rhythms such as 17/8, 27/8, 29/8 etc...and mix them with funk, jazz, latin and rock influences. Along with my friend and colleague Dimitrije D. Vasiljevic, I was founder of Neo Instinct band where I had opportunity to develop my composition skills and to play some author music of my own. Always striving to the perfection of playing and to the truth of real qualities in music, I've attended several jazz workshops where I worked with number of great jazz musicians such as Bennet Paster and Gregory Ryan. In April 2006, I went to live audition for Berklee College of Music where I was accepted and rewarded with WST Scholarship. At the moment, I live in Boston where I study Berklee College of Music under the supervision of some of the finest American drum professors such as Ralph Peterson Jr, Rod Morgenstein and Kenwood Dennard. I'm currently improving myself as a musician and as a person hoping and preparing to enter on the big scene someday.
