About Me

CURRENT MISSION

Summer mission is to play music on the street with 2 of my bandmembers. First stop Pula, and then going down south, Rijeka, Zadar, Šibenik, Split. I also have in plan to be in Vodnjan, Istra on 17th of August, James Carter Organ Trio has a concert.

ABOUT ME

Studied for 6 years saxophone and music theory at Music school ''Franjo Kuhač'' in Osijek.
I play alto saxophone for over 9 years. My main musical focus is jazz, but also every other style of free, spontaneous, improvised music. I've been a skateboarder from 1998 untill 2011, been on several croatian contests over the years (in Zagreb, Osijek, Slavonski Brod, Vukovar). I'm a member of Big Band Art Club Osijek. I also co-lead Olujić-Lamza jazz quartet. I love reading, meditating, playing music and talking about life, love and art. I'm very interested in chakra system of the human body and experimentation with techniques that alter and expand consciousness. I love meeting other people and learning from them just about everything I can learn. :)

PHILOSOPHY

If you want to change something, start by changing yourself... everything will follow. :)

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Walking the streets of Paris on a rainy day.
Listening to Kenny Garrett quartet in Pecs, Hungary.

Teach, Learn, Share

I am eager to learn anything no matter what it is. From String theory to Polyphony to Web design. I love new cognitions! :)
I have relatively narrow knowledge about world and Croatian history; music theory and harmony.

All of humanity is conected. We are not our names, jobs, bodies, thoughts. We are consciousness and we are here to learn and change. Only through looking within we can get a clear picture of what is outside. Life is a paradox. Too much analysis means paralysis! When someone is getting onyour nerves, it's always you, and not the other person!

Beware of your thoughts, because they create your reality! Beware of your words also. When you say Peace to someone you mean good but you are saying Piece, and we are in this mess because everybody are individual piece. We need Wholness, not pieces, to survive and evolve as a community of souls.

There is no death. PHIght ignorance!
