Born in a family of musicians (my mum is a cellist, my aunt is a pianist and my grandfather was an excellent amateur pianist), I moved with my mum to Italy at an early age. I studied in Milan with the renown Hungarian pianist Ylonka Deckers from 1988 to 1993. After my graduation I decided to move to to England to work with Sulamita Aronowsky and later on with Frank Wibaut at the Royal Academy of Music, completing my postgraduate studies in 1998 (on a Rotary Foundation Scholarship). I also studied with Dennis Lee.

Together with the Finnish cellist Seeli Toivio we won a 1^st Prize and a Special Prize at the XXV International Chamber Music Competition in Finale Ligure (Italy) in 1998. My first CD of piano works by Mussorgsky (Gega New) had excellent reviews in BBC Music Magazine, Suono, HFN&RR, In Tune, and Kultura. My second CD with Seeli  (Gega New) was a world première of works for cello & piano by Ildebrando Pizzetti and it was released in 2004.

In 2001 with Michal Drewnowski (piano), Christo Yotzov and Eti Kukudov (percussion), we created the Voland Quartet, a two pianos and percussion ensemble dedicated to contemporary music. Their first CD, with works by Béla Bartók, Aleksandr Arutiunian, Gheorghi Arnaoudov, Ari Ben-Shabetai, Christo Yotzov and Jerzy Bauer was released in December 2006 (Gega New).

My performances and interviews have been broadcast on Bulgarian National Radio, BBC Radio, RAI3, Classic FM+, Bulgarian National TV, BTV, and TV Bulgaria. I played  concertos, recitals and chamber music in Bulgaria, Italy, the UK, France, Spain, Ireland, Germany, Holland, Poland, Russia, and the USA, with career highlights including the South Bank Centre and Wigmore Hall (London), Carnegie Recital Hall (New York), Bulgaria Hall (Sofia), Philharmonic Hall (St Petersburg). My fourth CD with piano works by Johannes Brahms was released in May 2007 by Gega New.

I am a recipient of the Ivan Vazov Award for the popularisation of Bulgarian Culture Abroad. I am also the Artistic Director of Bulgarian Creative Arts and we have been promoting and supporting Bulgarian Art and Culture in the UK since 2003. We have organised five editions of the Bulgarian Film Festival In London, a number of concerts, exhibitions, theatre performances, and culinary events.
