About
I grew up in Serbia but here I am in the US, bringing influences from home to music here. As bassist I’ve done recording and live performances in genres ranging from jazz to progressive metal, and lately I’ve been composing a lot of electronic music in the vein of Daft Punk & synthwave influences. I’ve completed a dual-major degree at Berklee, Bass Performance & Contemporary Writing & Production

Class assignment based on a prompt: create a 45-60s intro to a TV show you create. What I went for was a "South Park" spinoff show where Eric Cartman hosts a half-history half-current events show as a satire on Joe Rogan and InfoWars with a lot of influence from The Onion
