As one of the pioneers in the region exploring the creative potential of artificial intelligence in music, I have dedicated the past years to shaping a new frontier in musical expression—where technology meets emotion, and innovation brings stories to life through sound.

My journey began with a deep connection to my hometown, Gevgelija. From that inspiration, the first local AI-powered project was born: **ZZ Band**. This unique music group features 70 songs across a wide range of genres, all written in Macedonian and devoted to the people, culture, and soul of Gevgelija. The songs are publicly available on YouTube and have already been embraced by a growing audience. A Compact Disc featuring 17 of these songs has been released, with several more editions planned for release throughout the year.

But ZZ Band is just the beginning.

The **second completed project** includes **105 songs** across **8 Compact Discs**, currently in the printing phase.
The **third project** is ready for release following the second, comprising **10 CDs and 100 songs**.
A **fourth project**, featuring **150 songs** in rock and pop dance styles, is also finished and is expected to be printed by **June or July**.
The **fifth and largest project** consists of **two parts**, each containing **125 songs**, for a total of **250 tracks**, scheduled for release no later than **September**.

All projects have been recorded. Only cover and disc design for the third and fourth projects remain. Each release is being prepared not just as a collection of songs, but as a **luxury edition**—a combination of **Compact Discs and specially crafted books**, offering a complete artistic experience.

Through these works, I continue to explore the boundaries of what AI and human creativity can achieve together—creating music that resonates with identity, emotion, and the future.

Some bands are formed in garages. Others on big stages or in smoky studios. But *ZZ Band* was born from something different—an idea, a vision, and a deep love for a city.

What began as a personal project—creating songs dedicated to Gevgelija using the possibilities of artificial intelligence—soon grew into something far greater. The goal was simple yet ambitious: to produce music in a variety of genres that celebrates the spirit of the city and its people, while quietly searching for musicians who would one day bring this vision to life on stage.

From rock to pop, traditional to modern, more than 70 songs now live on our YouTube channel—each one a tribute to local identity, to national pride, and to the beauty of every meaningful holiday. These are not just songs; they are stories, emotions, and echoes of a place we call home.

*ZZ Band* may have started as an idea… but today, it stands as a living, growing expression of creativity, culture, and connection—waiting for the right voices and instruments to turn the dream into a full, harmonious reality.
