“Night” is my brand new, sixth album, which I composed, performed, and recorded. The album starts with the composition that goes under your skin, also titled “Night” – quite emotional, touching, and personal. It was inspired by my recent car accident, having my youngest daughter present in the car as well, and by saying goodbye to their our dog. These sad happenings are reflected in a tune that is a mix of introspection, feelings of helplessness, but also hope. YRR will publish it on June 30th, 2023.

Music on my new album was beautifully mastered by Davor Rocco and Eldar Ibrahimovic.

They will perform the concert on June 30th at Rector’s Palace (Knezev Dvor) in Dubrovnik.”

After I watched a movie “The Love Letter” about unfulfilled love story, I immediately wrote “Sky’s Crying”. It is coming out on June 2nd, published by YRR.

This summer I had a concert at Ponta Lopud Festival in Croatia, and had once-in-a-lifetime audience, including Frances McDormand and her husband. After the concert we were invited to a dinner at a restaurant. I approached there Frances to thank her for coming to my concert and before I said anything, she took my hand like on the artwork, and said “thank you, it was magnificent”. This episode inspired me to write a composition “Touch”. On the top of everything, I had a boat accident, where my pointer finger was badly hurt. This song can be performed with 9 fingers 🙂

“Touch” – my new single is coming out on Oct. 14th to be published by Yellow Rose Records, and was beautifully mastered by Eldar Ibrahimovic. It will be available on all major streaming platforms.

Feeling very grateful that Double J in UK took my newest single “To You” on their amazing playlist “Piano Love Songs” on Spotify. My composition found home :)!

The singe “To You” dedicated to love of my love, came out on July 1st, published by Yellow Rose Records.
