"Anything is worth writing a song about" -- Bob Marley

When I die one day and someone upstairs asks me what I liked the most, I would have to say that it was music. We all love music, it brings us together, makes us feel happy and takes us onto a journey, it can make you smile and cry, teach you about life, love, the world and take you into the thoughts and emotions of the artist.

I was born in Croatia but grew up in South Africa, a country world renowned for its problems, suffering, and complicated politics. It made for a great place to live in and find the inspiration that an artist may seek because of its diversity of problems and strange mix of cultures and ethnicities.

The music is the message, the message is...... well whatever you make it out to be. I see songs as those little boards with splatters of ink on them that psychologists use to determine various things about their patients. What I mean is, songs are what you make of them, they are messages which can be interpreted in many ways. These songs are part of a of musical tradition in an ever-expanding musical genre but that ultimately finds its roots in blues, folk and reggae. You can hear the influences in most artists, where they come from and where they have been and in this way our musical creativity is only a counterpart to our musical influence in life. As a musician I am happy to have made it thus far and to be a part of that tradition. I don't really care about getting a big record deal or making the top of the charts, I don't really mind not getting a big fat paycheck for all my hard work. What I wish is to become a good enough musician to be able to make some kind of positive change in the world and to be able to inspire others as I have been inspired, to give meaning as I have received meaning and to be able to share my songs with you. Our generation needs hope and I believe that music is the greatest force against all that is evil. It speaks louder than the politics that rule us, fights the system that teaches us to fear ourselves and puts an end to the boring pursuit of all that is mediocre. You are your hopes and dreams, and today is all you have, so be something.
