Tomo is left handed but plays a right handed guitar

Tomo practiced to become a concert violinist; he started to play when he was three years old until he turned 19. Then he discovered heavy metal. He told his dad that he wanted to play the guitar, so Tomo and his father made one. His uncle, Bill Milicevic, is a virtuoso violinist and Ph.D from the University of Michigan School of Music. Tomo has been playing guitar professionally for years. He started writing his own music by the age of 17, which has contributed to his unique style of playing. The guitar that he made with his father was used on the 30 Seconds to Mars sophomore CD titled A Beautiful Lie (2005) in the song Savior.

Besides his sister Ivana, Tomo also has a brother named filip

Tomo Quotes:

He really wanted to buy an electric guitar. But they're expensive, so he said, 'Hey, let's make one.' We went and bought all of these tools and books, and the next thing you know, we're building an electric guitar. Fifteen hundred dollars later ? twice the cost of any good electric ? we had it.”

“It's never a second thought. Every single band has something they have to prove to the media and the people. We are very committed to winning. All we want is to have our shot.”

But we were terrified to play those songs live. We're a real balls-to-the-wall, rip-your-face-off kind of band, and for us to slow it down, there's a natural reaction to wonder 'What if nobody wants to hear those songs?' What if we start playing those songs and our fans are freaking out?”

You can't really help touching the person next to you. No matter how much of a germ freak you are, you're exchanging liquids with people.”
