SUMMARY:Goga
DESCRIPTION:Goga is an amazing vocalist and musician that can perform a wide variety of genres \, from opera to rock. He studied classical piano since the age of 7\, played the guitar for more than 15 years. And most of all Goga’s unique baritone voice is his identifiable trademark. If you heard him before \, there’s no mistaking it\, you will recognize his voice out of thousands. Goga’s enthusiasm on stage is contageous. You feel that he has fun performing\, and the passion that he puts into every phrase of every song makes his shows a special experience. Goga earned his name through covering the music of others with his own twist\, especially songs from Michael Buble and Andrea Bocelli. But Goga is equally respected composer and songwriter.

SUMMARY:Goga
DESCRIPTION:Goga is an amazing vocalist and musician that can perform a wide variety of genres \, from opera to rock. He studied classical piano since the age of 7\, played the guitar for more than 15 years. And most of all Goga’s unique baritone voice is his identifiable trademark. If you heard him before \, there’s no mistaking it\, you will recognize his voice out of thousands. Goga’s enthusiasm on stage is contageous. You feel that he has fun performing\, and the passion that he puts into every phrase of every song makes his shows a special experience. Goga earned his name through covering the music of others with his own twist\, especially songs from Michael Buble and Andrea Bocelli. But Goga is equally respected composer and songwriter.
