As a seven-year old he landed a part in a children’s festival for new music called ‘Pletenka’. As a solo artist he won second prize. He continued his education in a primary school for music, graduating with honours. In the meantime he joined the youth theatre playing a role in the show ‘Memories in The Night’ by Bonjo Lungov. At secondary school he was a member of the percussion section. It was during this period that he became a drummer for the group ‘Arija’ – he first began to compose music as part of this group. He went on to enter the Music Academy as an extremely popular percussionist. Martin then started his solo carrier as a vocalist. He received numerous prizes and excellent reviews. Martin is currently a senior at the Music Academy in Skopje, and one of the most popularly rated artistes on the FYR Macedonian and Balkan music scene.
