From Vasil's bio:
"Vasil was born and raised in Macedonia and has been in the music world since the age of 7. Now 33 and having lived over two decades in Chicago, Milano, Toronto, & London he is finally back home and focusing on a solo career using roots from his country to share with the world.
His 25 year music journey is quite diverse - from a Child pop star, to a member and soloist for the Chicago Children's Choir, to over 50 roles as a Leading Baritone Opera singer, to back up vocals to some of the worlds greatest Artists. Whenever words fail - Vasil just sings."
