I was born in the year of 1992 in Slovenia.

Ever since my birth music was part of my everyday life
because my father, who is a classical trumpeter,
made sure that I would be exposed
regularly to all kinds of music. 

As it is tradition in Slovenia I started attending  music school
at age of 7, taking classical piano lessons and later on,
at age of 12, changed to saxophone when a
new department opened up.


From that time forward I knew music was what I wanted to continue
with so I applied to the Conservatory for Music and Ballet Ljubljana
where I came in touch with jazz for the first time for real.


After finishing, as I said before, at age of 19 it was time for me to leave
my country and continue my studies abroad. I ended up studying
at Codarts Rotterdam where I optained both,
my Bachelor and Master degrees.

During my studies I had the pleasure of working
with several great teachers and mentors who
I have to thank for their support of my
ideas and development.

Without their support I wouldn't
become who I am today.

I'm specially grateful to:
  • Dick de Graaf (saxophone)
  • Paul van Brugge (composition)
  • Simon Rigter (saxophone)
  • Stefan Lievestro (bass)
  • Ilja Reijngoud (trombone)
