I’m so happy to have these truly talented and extremely professional guys joining me on the stage in Tel Aviv!

Together with our musical producer Isa Melikov, brilliant vocal coach Alex Panayi and ‘Truth’ songwriter Borislav Milanov we went through so many singers’ profiles to select ones who will bring their own touch to my song and make it even more colorful for the live performance.

Since the first rehearsal it all worked perfectly between us, like a beautiful harmony.
