BIOGRAPHY

Some kids pick up an instrument because their parents push them toward it. Others do it out of pure passion.

That's me. That passion hit me out of nowhere when I was 15 and it became my path.

I’m from Curtea de Argeș, not exactly the center of the universe when it comes to music, but where there’s a will, there’s a way. So, I made the best of what I had - my guitar, my curiosity, a few records that blew my mind and the mentors who guided me.

My first year of university came with a choice: keep music as a hobby or go all in.

I went all in.

Long story short, Vița de Vie needed a guitarist. I was living in a dorm, playing guitar non-stop, and skipping more classes than I should have. My friends pushed me to go to the audition. I hesitated because that world felt unreachable. But I had to know.

So, I showed up. 20+ guitarists auditioned. I got the gig.

The Part You Don’t See in the Movies After the Main Character "made it"

That’s when the work actually starts.

Adapting. Learning. Grinding. Screwing up. Fixing it. Owning the stage. Feeling the crowd.
