Born in Sarajevo, in the heart of the Balkans, Miron was forced into exile in the early 90's due to the horrible civil war in his country. Immigrating to Canada as a teenager he was exposed to jazz and from there he was certain this was going to be his calling. At 25 years of age Miron was contracted by world renown CIRQUE DU SOLEIL where he was selected as the original cast member, playing trumpet and guitars on then newly created show 'Kooza'. Apart from his involvement with Cirque du Soleil, Miron has performed at some of world's most important jazz festivals like the North Sea Jazz in Rotterdam, ELBJAZZ Hamburg, Montreal Jazz Festival and Sarajevo Jazz Fest to just name a few.
