Graduated in saxophone performance at the Zagreb Academy of Music. A dynamic member of the Croatian music scene since 1990, I lead my own groups and I'm in demand as a sideman in various ensembles and groups. Through my experience in so-called classical music, jazz, fusion and funk I take a unique approach in all musical settings, from a symphonic orchestra, chamber ensembles to a big band, a saxophone quartet or a small band. I lead Donna Lee Saxophone Quartet and my own small bands, which are, besides performing jazz standards, focused on promoting my own compositions and original arrangements.
As the principal alto chair in Croatian Army Symphonic Wind Orchestra I had a chance to work with many distinguished conductors such as Uros Lajovic, Vjekoslav Sutej, Pavle Despalj, Tim Reynish, Niksa Bareza, Miljenko Prohaska, Mladen Tarbuk, which was a great experience. I have been playing with the Zagreb Philharmonic, Croatian Radiotelevision Symphonic Orchestra, Croatian National Theatre in Zagreb and Croatian Music Institute Big Band and HGM Jazz Orchestra.
