An expansive and adventurous repertoire attests to his versatility and wide-ranging interests. From the ethnic music of his native Balkans to extreme avant-garde and microtonal music, his roles as soloist, collaborator, and recording artist are fueled by curiosity, imagination, and boundless energy. As a testament to his versatility and wide-ranging appeal, in 2018 Mak was invited by legendary singer-songwriter k.d. lang to perform as the opening act for the North American leg of her Inge\u0301nue Redux Tour.<\/p>\n Born in Ljubljana, Slovenia, in 1987, Mak studied guitar in Zagreb with the revered Ante Cagalj at the Elly Basic Music Academy. By the age of 14, he was balancing his world champion status in karate with his love for the guitar. Throughout his high school years, he concertized in Ljubljana and Zagreb, splitting his weeks between the two cities, as well as competing in professional martial arts contests across Europe and Asia. Following an injury to his left thumb, he made the decision to focus solely on a career in music, going on to complete a bachelor\u2019s degree with Alvaro Pierri at the University for Music and Performing Arts in Vienna.<\/p>\n Pursuing advanced studies in the U.S., Mak was one of the first students to apply for USC Thornton\u2019s new Arts Leadership graduate program, which he incorporated into his doctoral studies in guitar. He has been a student of William Kanengiser and Scott Tennant of the Los Angeles Guitar Quartet, in addition to Brian Head, artistic director of Guitar Foundation of America. In the fall of 2017, he began the Artist Diploma program at USC, the first guitarist in the university\u2019s history to be admitted to this elite program.<\/p>\n [\/et_pb_text][et_pb_gallery admin_label=”Gallery” fullwidth=”off” show_title_and_caption=”off” show_pagination=”off” background_layout=”light” gallery_ids=”4841,4842,4843,4844,4845″ auto=”off” hover_overlay_color=”rgba(255,255,255,0.9)” caption_font_size=”14″ caption_all_caps=”off” title_font_size=”16″ use_border_color=”off” border_color=”#636363″ border_style=”solid” border_width=”3px” posts_number=”8″] As both soloist and collaborator, Mak averages eighty-five performances a year – nearly two bookings per week.
