From pop to classical music

Before starting my music education at college, I dedicated about three years to learn and practice electric guitar. Because of that, I got myself in different roles, like playing live with classic rock bands, modern pop music, as a session musician with local singer-songwriters, writing small arrangements and also producing with these musicians.

My training as a classical musician changed my perspective and music making abruptly. For many years my routine was practicing the music of Bach, Haydn, Mendelssohn, Prokofiev etc.

Music composition, both fields, concert and film music, became the renewal of ambition and desire to continue my career.
