A central hub for the Valkania world — concerts, recordings, the newsletter — all gathered in one place.

Here you’ll find past and upcoming performances with my current band Valkania, my former band Super Nova, solo shows, and other projects built around my music.
Solo Projects
My YouTube Channel features various live recordings of my compositions (including with a String Quartet) and Streams of Songs and Stories (full videos | shorts)—a video series exploring the history and cultural context of music traditions across Balkan and Western music through narration and live performances.
Valkania
Valkania is a collaborative band built around my compositions — a musical language we began developing in 2010 and have continued refining together with the musicians who’ve been part of the project.
The sound draws from Balkan folk, blues, jazz, and classical influences, not as a collage but as a blend where rhythm, melody, and harmony meet naturally.
Alongside the original repertoire, we also play a small set of balkanized rock covers — familiar songs re‑imagined through our rhythmic and melodic vocabulary.
We had a notable collaboration with Hamza Namira, an Egyptian singer/songwriter; watch the video here.
The lineup has changed at different points, yet the musical vision has stayed steady. We kept working through the quieter post-Covid years, and from 2025 onward, we’re preparing new repertoire for small London venues.
You can follow Valkania’s live work through the mailing list, its website, Bandcamp (recordings), YouTube and Concert Archives
Super Nova
My first successful band was Super Nova, formed in Skopje, Republic of Macedonia (former Yugoslavia). We were among the early groups experimenting with Yugoslav‑based rap and crossover styles, as this Wikipedia article explains.
