For Andon, everything started the moment he could absorb the world around him. Having terrible nightmares on a regular basis it created confusion for Andon and he couldn`t tell what was real and what was not. This traumatic period inspired him to try and recreate what he saw and express the emotions that it evoked within him. By the age of 18 he had a huge collection of drawings and creations of all sorts that depicted his past out-of-body experiences. This type of treatment worked best for him which lead him to the art of animation.
He started studying Arts in junior high and went on to study Fine Arts in Sofia/Bulgaria. As time progressed he became drawn to the idea of animating his drawings and proceeded to study 3D Animation for Maya via an online intensive 3 year course at the Academy of Arts University. Encouraged by his parents to go further into Animation as they felt it really resonated with him, Andon continued to study 3D, 2D, stop motion Animation arts in London (Middlesex University, from which he graduated as a Bachelor of Arts in 2014.
Andon recently finished his 3rd animated shortfilm “2035”, mainly inspired by the madness that haunts his dreams. The film is a short story that takes place in a post-apocalyptic dystopian world where people fight the evil executor machines, which have been released by the world government to eradicate all non-royal blood. And then how a boy cyborg and a girl try to survive in a battle against the executioners. This is also his 3rd year graduation film for Middlesex Uni at London.

Though Andon has no formal training in music, he can play some classical piano pieces by ear, has a bongo drum and used to beatbox a little. He got into music production roughly by the age of 17. Inspired by his brother with FL 5 and the overwhelming possibility of what one can do with sound, he found he could recreate the soundscapes of his dreams, which propelled him further into the world of music production.
" I dream and control my dreams really well nowadays. I am able to be in there and have my awareness of the things that happen there. Then I would hear something like a melody coming out of all directions... it’s like the dream breathes using those melodies, and then I start making acid lines and beats and the idea evolves - you wake up and open a simple project to recreate it at 02% volume with earplugs on. Because the dream memories are very gentle and can easily go erased if I hear some other noise as I wake up. "
