At an early age he was a pupil of classical guitarist Ivan Kalcina[1] who inspired him to pursue guitar as his life calling. During the Bosnian War he moved first to Frankfurt, Germany, in 1994 and then to Vienna in 1996, where he attended and graduated with a degree from the Prayner Conservatory in 2002.

He oftentimes engages other musicians (most often pianists) and visual artists in exhibition shows, where they showcase their own work alongside him and this cross disciplinary approach gains him more attention in the public eye.[2]
