My name is Milko Minkov Dobrev.

I am born on August, 3, 1965 in Veliko Tarnovo,

Bulgaria in a family of building projection specialists. At the age of 5, I started to
learn the basic in music, at 6 I already played the violin. When I become 14, I was
selected to attend the local musical school in Rousse. But at that time, in1979, it
was very prestigious to know English language in a “socialist” country, so I decided
to attend to The English Language High School in Rousse, and to continue my
music training in private terms. As a teenager I became more and more interested in
playing guitar, so I started practicing it. The school band needed a bass player and,
at the age of 16, I started playing with my first band. Since that time the bass
became my primary instrument. I played it in the army band, where I started lead
singing and learn my first evergreens. In 1986 I was already a student in the second
biggest university in Bulgaria – in Veliko Tarnovo. There I went to the English
philology and Music classes. Together with some friends of mine we formed a band
where we experimented with authentic music in the fashionable Art & Progressive
Rock style. We were a great success, tour in lot of places in Bulgaria, even go to
Russia. I thought seriously to start a career in pop music and entertainment
business, instead of becoming a teacher. So it happened and I become a
professional singer and musician in Sofia in 1990.At that time there were a lot of
political changes and economical stress in Bulgaria and lots of musicians began to
go and play abroad. I picked to go to Norway and I started touring it in 1992.Every
year since, I spent at least 6 months in Norway, working for several agencies and
learning to sing and play music the people in Scandinavia like. In 1995 I took a good
opportunity and changed playing with bands for solo career in the night clubs’
variety shows. I get experienced in that kind of entertainment too, traveling for 3
years with the dancers from my Russian Ballet in many night clubs of Bulgaria,
Turkey and Macedonia. In 1997 I joined a very successful band of local guys, called
The Champions. We’ve been touring together in Norway for 7 years, working with
RAM agency and Color Line. After spending some time in the spring, singing in
piano bars in Sofia & Plovdiv, in the summer of 2005, I took a new challenge as a
Karaoke entertainer and Video DJ in one of the best Bulgarian sea resorts – Golden
Sands. Another winter I spent in Norway, joining this time Emotion band. In the
spring of 2006 I became a happy father; my girlfriend gave birth to our daughter Mila
on May, 9. The same summer I was again in Golden Sands combining two jobs – an
entertainment host and singer in the show of a very popular open restaurant in
Golden Sands, called Cherven rak (eng. Red Crab) and a Video DJ and Karaoke
entertainer in Old Lighthouse Bar after midnight. In 2007 I started working in the
piano bars in Bulgaria, touring together with my piano player Ivailo Pavlov.
