Story

Hello! My name is Antoniya Bachvarova. I was born in 29th of June 1992 in bulgarian city - Burgas. I started to play piano when I was five years old. Graduated Music school in 2011 with classical piano. Later I attended to Art Academy, Plovdiv with music pedagogy and pop/jazz singing. I graduated bachelor successfuly. I live currently in Plovdiv and study for a master with pop/jazz singing. Meanwhile, since 2012 I work as a musician in Bulgaria and in foreign countries. Mostly in summer vacations. In my repertoire you can hear mostly songs from 80' 90' 00' genre pop / pop rock/ soul / rock / country. Lot of them are english songs, but also have some german. Also many jazz standards and evergreens. They can be played as instrumentals and as songs. If you're interested, ask me for my song list. ? It's hard to tell that I am available for a job now. But in future I intend to spend around 6-10 years working overseas on ship and in Middle East countries. The exact time I can start is June 2019, before this I have tasks to complete. But you can connect me before that. Please, I need only serious people! Don't waist my time and I'll not waste yours. Thank you for understanding. Best regards!

What is music to you? What does it give you?

Music makes my life meaningful. It gives me straight, pull me up when I am on the wrong way, always gives me a back up when I am in the middle of nowhere. And, of course, helps me to enjoy the life as much it's possible and help me to express myself.

What is your music dream?

Step by step, I'm still learning myself. For now, my dream is to be free while I improvise on the piano.

If you could change the world - what would you start with?

I'm going to erase everything that f**** the people up, like drugs, wars, starving , misery, jealousy, such things, and full the empty space with truth, love and peace.

Which is the most memorable song from your childhood?

"Everything I do" by Brian Adams.

Who are your favorite musical artists or bands?

They're too much, I can't write them all here.

What inspires you to make music?

The fact that actually I can do it well enough and, as a matter of fact, that's my special possibility :) I really can't recall something that I can do better than making music. Especially if we talk about expression. I can explain myself better with playing than talking. And I really love to interact with auditory.

What is the message you want to send with your music?

Be free. Be yourself. Be happy the way you are. Don't try to be someone else. Listen to your heart and you'll find the right answer. Be strong and love, let's save this world and ourselves.

How do you feel when you perform in front of an audience?

Ready to be heard, I guess. :) yeah, a bit exited... But it is always depending of the audience.....

How do you see the musicians’ reality nowadays? What could be improved?

Well, the biggest challenge in our job as musicians is to know where lays the cross between art and business. In other word, making the ballance between both. It's impossible to give any message to the people if you play only that what they want to hear. But if you only do your music, and do it only for yourself, the result is that nobody is listening. So, they have to go together and the right songs must be chosen wisely.

What do you think of Drooble?

I don't know, I saw a friend of mine here and he just told me that this account is usefull. So I decided to make some. ;)

What frustrates you most as a musician?

The newest music is too shitty to be called "music"... most of it, okay.... But we have to play it anyway...

Do you support your local scene as a fan? How?

I visit concerts of my colleagues and my teachers.

What qualities should a musician nowadays have in order to get their music heard by a larger audience?

Patient, talent, ambition and passion.

Share some awesome artists that we’ve never heard of.

I will name some of my teachers and colleagues. They deserve to be shared with everybody around the world: Marina Gospodinova - my vocal coach ; Miroslav Turiyski - my jazz piano teacher; Rada Chomakova - my classical piano teacher; Borislav Yasenov - flutist and jazz improvisation coach ; Mark Bowering - bassist ; Ivan Garbachev - jazz pianist; Veneta Tsoneva - drummer and vocalist; Gergana Kostadiniva - jazz pianist ; Yana Deliradeva - choir conductor ; Valentin Danev - guitarist ; Gergana Borislavova - opera singer ; Of course, they are many, many more people who deserved to be in such list, but I named those of them, who inspire me to do my best every day! Thank you, guys! :)
