Ivaylo matriculated for the Conservatory in Rouse with oboe, but a year later his career was declared futureless by the Professors. So he left the Conservatory and started playing bass guitar on his own. Ivailo turned his disappointment into a personal ambition that three years later, in 1992, he presented himself brilliantly as № 1 at the National Music Academy majoring in his instrument “bass guitar”. In 1996 Ivailo graduated with an excellent GPA.
