thanks to all of my friends at Berklee (and not only) who donated their incredible talent to my music. i love you very very much.
Hello, my name is Boyan Hristov. I am a guitarist, singer, songwriter, composer, arranger, producer and a dedicated performer. Music is the most important thing in my life. I am a Berklee College of Music grad in Music Performance. I have another degree in music from native Bulgaria. I play fingerstyle and flatpicking, acoustic, electric, resonator, classical guitar, modal tunings, open tunings, slide, slapping, tapping. I play most styles of music. I even have some awards and trophies for my skills.. imagine that... My life is all about playing the guitar and listening to music. I love my friends and making new ones. I love traveling. I don't even need a reason to go somewhere. I try to be good to everyone and treat everybody with respect. I am chasing after my dream to play music and be a better person and musician. Did i tell you how much i love guitars?
Take 2
I am a freelance electric and acoustic guitarist and dobro player in New York City. If you need a guitarist for a gig, recording, or any type of event, there's a big chance you are hitting the jackpot right now - i play most styles of music well, know hundreds of songs, i am reliable, you can have me onboard with minimal rehearsing and i am pretty chill guy and easy to get along with. The downside is that I will sing backup vocals even if you don't want me to. Well, a nice check will fix that ;) ooh, and i don't have a car a.k.a. reliable transportation... man, ain't life a bitch sometimes...
Take 3
I don't randomly add people ("friends") that i don't know in person, so if i don't know you and you want to be my friend, please tell me why you are adding me, because i don't want to blow away people that are sincere, but i don't need a big FAKE friend count either.
Take 4
I am working on it
Take 5
deleted due to explicit content
Take 6
The songs on this page show the singer/songwriter side in me. there are many sides to my musicality. i hope you like this one because it's funny and original and while i am original most of the time i am not as funny when it comes down to writing music.
Take ... the A train
New York, New York,... what an experience... for all of you starving artists out there, save some time and learn from my experience - "polska" sausage, medium large "not-so-organic" eggs, cheap salad and lemons are the cheapest food you can get in NYC. needless to say it's disgusting and i don't mention the tons of bread i have so that them eggs and sausage last longer... , but when you don't have money and have to go play in the subway cars for tips, a sausage in the microwave is a freakin banquet... maaan, ain't life a bitch sometimes...
Take... again
time is all i have but it seems more than ever that i don't have a whole lot of it. maaan, ain't life a bitch sometimes...
I was born and raised in Sofia, the capital of Bulgaria, in the nicest neighborhood of the city, in a great loving family of well educated people. Here's a little info about Bulgaria:
BULGARIA :
* Founded in 681, Bulgaria is the oldest contemporary country in Europe.
* One of the most used alphabets in the world, the Cyrillic was developed in Bulgaria.
* The inventor of the electronic computer John Atanasoff is of Bulgarian descent.
* In its modern history Bulgaria never lost a flag, captured by its enemies' armies.
* The Bulgarian Air Force was the first in military history to use airplanes in combat, bombing Turkish positions at Adrianople during the First Balkan War on 16 October 1912.
* The country produces half of the rose oil in the world.
* The oldest golden treasure in the world was discovered in Bulgaria (the Varna Necropolis) - it is 6,500 years old.
* In many agricultural productions per capita, the country is among the top 10 in the world (tomatoes, peppers, tobacco, sunflower seed, lavender, strawberries and others)
