Hjälp med bosnisk sevdalinka

Emir Hot was born on February 23rd 1978 in Tuzla (Bosnia and Herzegovina) He showed his first interest in the guitar when he was 5. His first influences were Led Zeppelin, Rolling Stones, Pink Floyd, Eric Clapton, records from the collection of his two older brothers. Even then, as young as he was, he tried to get familiar with the instrument and learn first rhythms and chords.

His constant interest in music made him start thinking about enrolling in the Music School in Tuzla - Bosnia & Herzegovina. At the age of 10 he did so and was immediately admitted to the 3 rd year. When Emir was 12, he started listening to various heavy/rock bands and solo guitarists, instrumentalists and virtuosos. In 1989 he joined HATRED, a trash metal band from Tuzla.

The album has not been released yet, but it should be in the near future. He also received an offer to perform as a solo guitarist with the Sarajevo Philharmonic Orchestra, but he had to depart for the UK earlier where he enrolled THE LONDON GUITAR INSTITUTE.
In May 2005, he won the big guitar competition GUITAR HERO UK 2005

In June 2007, Emir graduated at THE GUITAR INSTITUTE and started recording “Sevdah Metal” – his first serous project as a solo artist. The material was written during the university time in London and luckily he got a chance to get some great musicians on the record – John West on Vocals and Mike Terrana on Drums. This album will be out early 2008 and numerous European shows should follow.
