I didn't really know what to call this project but I needed a starting point. Its about music though. And what music is to me. Its so much.

My starting point was getting into Nirvana as a kid and then also quickly the Foo Fighters as Nirvana were no longer around. After that I started playing in my own bands.I was inspired to write and play. There were some good times. In the video I am playing a cover of Nirvana- About A Girl. You can hear me do other songs on my youtube channel- http://www.youtube.com/user/nikolacrnojevic/videos

If you make any kind of pledge £20 and above I will do a personal thank you Youtube video for you doing any cover for you that you would like to hear and email the link to you. Might even bring in guest vocalists. I have a great female singer called Chelsey I also work with. She's on the Youtube channel.

I'm first and foremost a musician.

At the moment my main project which takes up most of my time is my Nirvana tribute band called This Is Nirvana that I love to play in, set up so I can actually get around and travel to play in different places. My original band that I had for 10 years, which was never as good as it could have been, never gave me that opportunity.

I look back on ten years and think I wish I just once did something properly.

After I finished studying Music Business I decided I wanted to make a great album and see what I could do with it as well as getting into projects that excite me as a musician. Also help any musician I can that I can give my time to and I believe in. The Music Business was always run by money money money but thats not its future.

One acoustic song I wrote for my album 'Nikola Milan- Just Another Rock Band' is already finished called For Whom The Bell Tolls (link)- http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=yZzYVdnPs68&context=C346c04cADOEgsToPDskJ...

After reading that novel that song just came out.

Its really easy and cheap to make good acoustic recordings but my dream is to mix these kinds of songs with some really great rocking music for an album. Music I really enjoy to play with a band. To record drums you simply need some kind of budget that goes beyond acoustic recordings especially if you want to record the band playing together which is the way forward.

The reality though is music has become free. Thats the future so true fans will become people who pledge to make albums happen. Whatever they can afford for what it would mean to them. I think so anyway.

Music is huge part of my life. This is all about the music for me. I just want to make something I will always be proud of and now I know I can. I'm grown up. Thats why i'm making these videos so they will be there forever. A moment in time and thats all art really is. The videos might even be something anyone might enjoy at any time in the future. I think Youtube is more powerful then people now know. I wonder what future generations will make of it.

I will come under budget as I really know what I am doing (bought a decent bass amp for £90 not long ago) so I will also be making a generous donation to a charity that I think needs more exposure. For now I am only happy to disclose this in private.

If you want to communicate with me for any reason get in touch!
I'm Nikola Milan on Facebook. That would be my preferred place to start.

Here is link to my Nirvana tribute Facebook page if you want to know when I'm gigging with that band and would like to catch a show- http://www.facebook.com/pages/This-Is-Nirvana/178852272162998?ref=ts

POEM?

Posted on 04/02/2012

Its a song actually but like this is it a poem? Wouldn't really know if it is. Is it any good? For Whom The Bell Tolls (song) by Nikola Milan I wrote this after finishing reading this great novel. It really moved me. We'd lay around the summer, and wake up by the sun I'm blinded by the feeling; what have I become? I'm lightened by the falling of my shooting star This one's for you, I hope it follows you with love We played around with feelings that we never saved I'm shaken to my bones; I'm carving out my grave I'm lightened by the falling, forgive me this once I lie around in silence, what does hope become? I'll wait, Stare into the sun and wait I'm finding out the meaning to everything I've said I'm turning on a hillside, nothing here is spent I'm blinded by emotion, I only see the sun I'll find you in the falling, when we walk as one I'd fight another reason for every single day I'm blinded as I'm going, even now I pray I'll find another calling to you my only love I can't forget these feelings, what does hope become? I'll wait, Stare into the sun and wait http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=yZzYVdnPs68&feature=context&context=C3a47e28UDOEgsToPDskKM-gyerxPJtmy8M4Rsd82O
