About Me
Vivamus suscipit tortor eget felis porttitor volutpat. Mauris blandit aliquet elit, eget tincidunt nibh pulvinar a. Vivamus magna justo, lacinia eget consectetur sed, convallis at tellus.
I started my artistic journey at the age of 6 when I was introduced into the magical world of theatre. At this early age, I joined the amazing youth theatre troupe “Щурче” (Cricket), led by the genius Raikovy brothers. This experience continued for the next twelve years and marked my personality and artistic perspectives. At the age of 18, I initiated another long journey to get to know the world beyond native Bulgaria. Studies, work experience and travels around the world convinced me that filmmaking is my best way of expression because above all I see beauty, I want to share it with you.

I studied and worked in Madrid, Lisbon, and Barcelona, where I currently live. Back in the days, in Madrid, I used to work as a journalist for different magazines but one of them keeps a special place in my heart – Enlace Funk. This is the only Spanish magazine for black music and culture. Thanks to that experience, I had the chance to meet many of my favorite musicians. The night I interviewed Roy Ayers, is probably one of the most incredible memories in my life…It was somewhere around Christmas, because I remember looking from the window of Radio Circulo de Bellas Artes at the lightened streets of Gran Via, which made the atmosphere kind of magical.. we had like a forty minutes conversation that filled my soul with pure happiness, I couldn’t take off the smile of my face and this was a true feeling of ecstasy, caused by the power of this man, and the positive thoughts and sensations he transmitted talking to me from his couch in NY. Music world hypnotizes me and this explains how I spent years documenting, filming and participating in music movements in Spain, Mexico, Portugal, Brazil, Bulgaria, Cuba, Puerto Rico, Miami, Chile…
During my tours around the world I had the chance to work with artists like Mala Rodriguez, Calle 13, Raimundo Amador, DJ Griffi, Julieta Venegas, Explosion Suprema, Tego Calderon, Sr. Rojo, Kultama, Dj Woody, Negro Rico, Upsurt, Phuture Shock, Pista Machina, Sting and many more international artists.
After an interesting collaboration with the emblematic Bulgarian magazine EDNO for an issue dedicated to Spain, I started working with the Spanish Grammy Award hip hop diva MALA RODRIGUEZ. We started touring together with me filming and photographing the tours, vjing, directing the shows, even dancing and performing in them. Now I have directed few of her latest music videos and we even did a short film together. It is a pure blessing for me to have had the chance to work and to be a friend of one the most amazing people I have met. Our encounter back in the days has been so fruitful and continues flourishing today.
Back in Bulgaria, I have established an NGO for cultural and innovative projects that could help the growth of the cultural level in the country. Through this company I have pushed a project called Conscious Cinema that was one of the first known innovative interactive film platforms. It travelled the country and made people watch movies consciously in a unique way. For those who had the chance to participate it was an incredible and unforgettable experience.
In the last years, I have continued working on cultural programs and music videos and shows, but I focus most on filmmaking. I have written and directed few shorts and presented them to some great international festivals. I am currently working on my first feature film and on a project for Tv serie.
