After playing for years the trombone, Žiga chose singing as a novel way to explore and express a whole new range of emotions. He does not rely on gimmicks or vocal tricks, but rather projects an intense and sensitive feeling through beautifully crafted songs. Žiga’s music is as enjoyable for listening as it is for dancing. If we could simply remove the hazy veil of everyday life, we would discover the mysteriously joyful essence underneath it all, an alluring passion, where we can dance and sing along.
