Royal Liverpool Philharmonic Orchestra. We spoke to him backstage about his
journey into music…

“The first time I picked up the guitar, it was a complete accident,” Miloš says.

“I was always musical. I always sang around. I really wanted to go to the music
school. I wasn’t like the regular boys, I didn’t know what to do with the ball in the
field or, you know, anything like that.

“But music was my thing and we had an old guitar at home and, and that became
my best friend and that’s how I became a guitarist.”

At eight years old, Miloš went to study guitar at the music school in his home
country’s capital, Podgorica. At 17, he won a scholarship to study at London’s
Royal Academy of Music, where he graduated with First Class honours and went
on to do a Masters in performance.

“I grew up in Montenegro and that comes with a whole series of problems and at
the time when I was growing up, it was certainly not an ideal time, but there was
one thing that was brilliant and that it was a sort of refuge and an escape.”

Now based in London, Miloš is signed exclusively to Sony Classical and has
appeared as a soloist with some of the world’s greatest orchestras including the
London and LA Philharmonics, Philadelphia Orchestra and Chicago Symphony.
