Good afternoon, everyone.
They say talent is having faith in yourself, your strength,
and your abilities.
I was lucky enough to be given that gift by God,
but three things are very important
in order to develop that talent to a certain level.
These are three very simple words to be said,
but actually, no one is really aware how hard that is.
First among them is, of course, work.
To develop a talent during a certain period of time,
one needs to invest many hours in it.
On the other hand,
if you dedicate a certain amount of time to your talent every day,
then automatically one needs to sacrifice a lot of things.
And if it doesn't come to realization, unfortunately, that talent deteriorates.
And the third thing is, of course, inspiration.
I find my inspiration in visiting my home town, Gruža.
That’s a little village near Kragujevac.
Since I've been playing for twelve years
and have been working with children in a music school in Gruža for 8 years,
I want to share with them the idea
that has led me in my musical development and creativity.
Actually, that idea is that music and dance are universal languages.
That is why I would ask you to allow me to introduce myself
through the language that doesn't need a translator.
