“I am a very sociable, righteous and professional person, husband and father. In my free time I compose and have recorded my own Macedonian dances with the orchestra of the Macedonian Radio and Television. I like nature, mountain air and I am a great gourmand. My motto is ‘without music there is no life’. Music, music and only music.”
