It took me 20 years to write my new song
While making a living as a professinal guitarist and singer I didn't have time to write my own songs.
Until now.
"Simple Song" took me 20 years to write. Have a listen and know that it is just a beginning that I have prepared for all my life.

Honest songs, from the heart
I am a Christian living in a post Christian world and I believe there is a spiritual war and I want the good guys to win. Deus Vult.
I was born in Bulgaria and spent most of my adult life as an ignorant liberal progressive atheist. A very heavy academic background in Music that includes Bachelors from the George Soros funded New Bulgarian University (class of 2003); followed by a merit based scholarship at Berklee College of Music as a guitar performance major (class of 2009) and later a Master in Music Pedagogy at the Copenhagen Conservatory (dropped out!) didn't help much with my understanding of the world, but at least I learned a trade.
It took a huge effort to drain the poison of academia out of my system.
I have lived in the USA, Denmark, Spain, UAE and of course my native Bulgaria. I have also traveled the world over and over while working on cruise ships and not only I have seen the world, I have worked with people from everywhere.
So of course if you are staying busy surviving and paying huge bills for your American college education it's not easy to have a creative outlet, but somehow I have managed to release 5 records with my band B11 in the States, indie - critically acclaimed, and a solo guitar record of my arrangements of popular melodies - stuff I'd play in restaurants, lobbies, etc - you call it background music, my colleagues call it skills.
Finally I am writing my own songs. The message of the song is everything to me. I can no longer separate the Artist from the Art.
I recorded "Simple Song" at home, using the same gear I use on gigs - so if you hear me live, that is what I genuinely sound like. It's all live. People are surprised because it's a big sound. No autotune, no cutting and pasting and correcting anything. A 100% live performance. I believe music is a language and I am a fluent speaker. I have played a gig nearly every day since the late 90s. Do the math. Better yet - listen to my song :)
