Bojan

Born in Belgrade (SR), Bojan has been involved with rock, jazz and classical music for years. His music is driven by ethnic influences, focusing on Mediterranean melodies from eastern Europe and Spain. Bojan has developed his style with various instruments: classical / flamenco (nylon string), steal string guitars, electric semi-acoustic guitars, 4-string bass guitars, bouzouki and piano.

At age of 9, he graduated from the primary musical school major in flute and piano. In high school, he took on the guitar. Bojan was mainly self thought and took only few guitar and theory lesson from Mr. Oliver Gannon and Mr. Robert Hollingsworth.

At the moment, he plays bass guitar for Ranj Singh and the Discrimiators. He is also composing and performing in guitar duos, such as Question and Answer Duo and West Coast Duo. Last but not least, Bojan studies sitar and bouzouki with James Hamilton. You can find some his latest recordings here.

David

Born in Liverpool, England. Started out playing guitar as a teen and switched to drums after I found it more satisfying and more fun hitting the back of it. Bought a set of Rogers drums and formed a power trio - drove parents crazy practicing anything by the "Who" in the basement - especially Quadraphenia.

Played in a number of bands with other ex-brits and scots - sometimes it was like "Braveheart" on stage - and played a number of clubs around Vancouver. Once belonged to the "Hornets" - Beatles tribute band with a couple of brothers from Plymouth - we had a Hoffner bass, vox amps and gretsch drums - we looked pretty authentic but unlucky for me Ringo never had shoulder length blonde hair. Beside playing the full kit I have worked on developing hand drumming playing the congas, djembe, doumbek - these skills came in handy while playing with the Rhythm Thieves for nearly five years composing beat driven world beat music with marimbas and xylophone.

Most recently I spent a year supporting local singer song writer Carolyn Stewart in developing her original songs and have worked with a very talented young singer song/writer, Melissa Endean, laying down four drum tracks for her new CD "Authentic". I have been with Ranj and the Discriminators for several months now and feel right at home. Ranj is a gifted song writer and lyricist and my band mates are very talented musicians. It's a privilege to be bringing the beat - on the kit and on hand drums - to Ranj's existing songs and the new songs we are developing.
