  • I am a child of mixed heritage and influences

  •  I used to try to worry about how I fit in or how to act to be part of the mainstream, the popular, the accepted. As an artist I have evolved a unique style that just "feels right" for me influenced by roots stemming from a Slovene-Croatian and American heritage holding ethnic and modern sound influences.

    In my musical evolution I encountered several stepping stones. It began when I was 14 as a teen-pop singer in Germany, Austria and Slovenia(EU)until the country became war-torn. I left for the united States to seek my music education after being accepted to the Berklee School of Music in Boston. At this time I had 3 albums under my belt(EMI-Columbia label, RTV, Yugoton). I was ultimately led to the West Coast and  LA ~there I  was able to sell one of my songs to Rick James and Jobette Music for 500$ with a writer collaborator. I had the pleasure to perform in top LA venues(At my Place, The Roxy, The Baked Potato-etc.), recorded with Kenny Logins and Eddie Money's producers and "baked my musical bread" as a working musician gigging around the Globe in collaborations with Sterling Production, Atlantic Label, VE Entertainment, TOT productions-and other music labels and agencies.

    With these experiences~I found my place as an artist, a composer, author, and performer~I now call home Lake Tahoe, NV, an awe-inspiring surrounding just oozing with other talents, arts, and like-minded bohemians like me. My new album is available on Itunes:
