Kunstneren ble født i Blagoevgrad i Bulgaria i 1982. Han er utdannet billedkunstner og musiker, men med kone og tre barn var det vanskelig i livnære seg i Bulgaria. De hadde planer om å bosette seg i New Zealand, men i 2008 havnet de i Stavanger, hvor han fikk jobb på en restaurant. Nå livnærer han seg som frisør, men maler og tar organistoppdrag innimellom. Han har hatt mange lørdagskonserter. I Bulgaria og i Praha har han spilt Rakmaninova 3. klaverkonsert med orkestre. En særdeles sympatisk og arbeidsom kunstner med flere bein å stå på!!
