About me
I was born on June 23, 2009 in Sofia, Bulgaria. I got in touch with the world of music back in elementary school, when I joined the school choir. I started taking lessons with a vocal coach at the age of 8 and have been coached by Maria-Magdalena Hristova, Bulgarian opera singer, Sara Filipova, jazz and R&B singer and Sam Marlow, vocal coach, song writing mentor and City Vocal Coach founder.
My stage debut was in October 2020 at a live performance of Maria-Magdalena Hristova in Vienna where I performed with a live band few pop and soul songs. Since then I have had three more live performances. I also took part in two musical theatres in Vienna, "Beauty and the beast", played at the Vienna English Theatre in June 2019 and "Lilly and the alien soup", performed five times at Akzent Theatre in Vienna in December 2022.
In the beginning of 2023 I have discovered my passion for song writing and have written more then 40 original songs since then. My music is inspired by artists such as Adele, Amy Winehouse, Alicia Keys, Tate McRae and Olivia Rodrigo. My newest passion is learning how to play the guitar.
I speak fluently English, German and Bulgarian.
