9 interesting facts about me
1. When I was younger, I loved all kinds of music, and I hated it when I couldn't play it on my violin because there was no sheet music! That's why I started writing arrangements, so I can play all my favorite songs, regardless of the genre.
2. I'm originally from a tiny, beautiful country called Montenegro..located on the Adriatic sea (You know Italy? It's like, right across the sea).
3. My love of music may have started a long time ago when Eurovision song contests really had good music...and, for the record: I decided I want to be a violinist when I saw a representative of Switzerland (1990), Egon Egemann. He was wearing a white suit and had a white electric violin.
4. Writing sheet music for different ensembles gives me the opportunity to share music with so many people from all over the world. And there are so many great songs waiting to be played!
5. My Mayan sign is Yellow Planetary Seed and that means I'm a lifetime student. I want to learn everything about Music arts, Martial arts, the Mayan calendar, Massages, Knitting,... I finished a course for Arranging on BerkleeOnline and started a Turkish language course.
Oh, did I mention I have 2 kids, a ballerina, and a football player?
8. Dancing is my passion. I believe that all music should be composed and made so you can dance to it.
In all my arrangements I take special care of the rhythm. It's not that simple to transform an electronic or rock song that has drums into an instrumental like for a string quartet. But, I love those challenges, and I can say my arrangements are pretty much popular because of my way of using string instruments as a rhythm section.
6. I love Jane Austin's novels. I admit I'm a romantic. Maybe that's why I love so much writing special music arrangements for Weddings.
7. I wrote so many unusual and unknown songs as special Wedding requests so I think this website is now a great source of string quartet music arrangements. Over 1000 arrangements so far!
You can find a catalog with all songs I arranged for the string quartet here.
As a Signature Artist, my arrangements for string quartet, trio, and duo get published on MusicNotes.

9. As a Violinist, I was a member of many chamber and symphony orchestras, classical and rock ensembles, world music bands, and I have my own solo project Bo Cline where I play my electric violin with loops.
Now I play in String duo ŽPu. We use my arrangements of course.
