Hi, my name is Misko Stanisic and I am from Stockholme, Sweden. My music is often considered Contemporary Piano Music or World Fusion.
I am an Acoustic Fuel Approved! artist, and you can check out my song "Maharaja" by pressing PLAY.
Some of the artists that have influenced me and my music are...
The Beatles, the Doors, Led Zeppelin, Pink Floyd, Radiohead, Björk, Bach, Debussy, Rachmaninov, Grieg, Keith Jarret, Miles Davis, Ray Charles, Jan Johansson
One of my earliest memories of music is...
Waking up early in the morning (as a child), sneaking to our record player, finding the Beatles LP Abbey Road and playing "Here Comes the Sun" to wake my mammy and daddy with what I thought was a "beautiful song for beginning of the day". I still think the same.
A few of my thoughts on my life as a musician...
I am an artist, creating in different fields, depending on what gives me inspiration and what seems challenging at the moment. Yes, probably as all other artists do, I create to explore myself, the life and the world, in search of the answers. So, do I find answers? I would say - yes, yes I do. Through art, I have discovered the most truthful freedom of all. And it works like a highly addictive drug - once you experience it, you cannot go back.
My artistic process goes a little someting like this...
I play piano, improvise and compose until my fingers bleed and the tears stop me from seeing clearly. As I am a very inquisitive person, like a child, my attention floats like a butterfly in the wind, and I am very often lost in the world of ideas, chasing the track of my inspiration. It may sound strange, but I compose mostly without the piano - during subway rides or while walking through the city. Later, I just sit at the piano and play it all.
