Although he gained media popularity mainly from his participation in the 10th season of the television format "The Voice of Bulgaria" and among more than 60 thousand followers on TikTok, the traces in the professional path of the young singer Severin Georgiev stretch back in time. A graduate of the National School of Arts "Prof. Veselin Stoyanov" with a degree in "Percussion Instruments" in his hometown of Ruse, Severin continued his education at the National Academy of Music "Prof. Pancho Vladigerov" in Sofia with pop and jazz singing under Assoc. Prof. Alice Bovaryan.


 After years of working in piano bars across the country, Severin began releasing independent original songs. The first - "Blank Sheet" - appeared during the singing reality show, followed by "It's Going to Rain". This year is the turn of the third - "Sleda" (meaning "trace"), in which Severin Georgiev again writes the music and lyrics himself. When he heard the song, Pavel Nikolov - Pavell liked it so much that he decided to arrange it. The two are joined by Mihaela Marinova, who recorded the backing vocals.


Severin admits that he is drawn to creating pop ballads, but reveals that he is already working on his next song, which will be more dynamic. He shares about the process of creating songs:

"In general, I sing about things I have experienced, and about life in general. In this particular song ("Следа" meaning "trace'"), it is about whether we will leave a mark in this world. Everyone dreams of being remembered, of leaving something in this world and leaving some mark - small or large. And I ask such an existential question - what will we leave behind and will we be remembered? What I dream most of all is for the music I create to outlive me and leave a mark after me."

The video for "Sleda" directed by Pavel Simeonov - Shutterflow is full of metaphors. It includes footage from Severin's childhood.
