Sound artist, performer and composer that explores acoustic phenomena, auditory perception and the interaction between artists’ personal agency, ability and perception and their art interpretation. His current focus is to develop and test a new automatized method of directing multidisciplinary performances that will be more inclusive of the different media used on stage while enabling a different interpretation of content with each performance.

Since the age of 14, he has been active through a wide range of artistic disciplines (poetry, dance, music and physical performance). During his eight-years stay in Rijeka (Croatia) he completed his studies in electrical engineering science at the Faculty of Engineering “RiTeh”. In 2016 he enrolled at the Giuseppe Tartini Conservatory of Music in Trieste (Italy), where he studied jazz and world music for the next three years, mainly focusing on the development of rhythmic complexity and improvisation. Under an Erasmus+ scholarship, he continued his studies in Tallinn at the Estonian Academy of Music and Theater, where he researched performing methods in the field of contemporary art. In 2022 he graduated from the European Masters programme in contemporary performance and composition "CoPeCo", held at the academies of Tallinn (Estonia), Stockholm (Sweden), Lyon (France) and Hamburg (Germany). 

In the last ten years he has collaborated on more than 30 art projects. As a composer and sound designer, he has presented his works at the Venice Biennale, Homo Novus Festival, CPH Stage, AFEKT Festival, CPPM Manifestal, Vertigini Festival and many other artistic events. He has written two research articles "Tools for the development of rhythmic complexity" and "Applications of pure tone in contemporary music". Furthermore, he is the founder and artistic director of the international festival "All That Jazz" and cultural events "Jazz on Jazz" in Croatia.
