A Closer Look: Sharing a Passion
Sharing a Passion and Making Dreams Come True

Kiril Boyadjieff, musician and art major at the University of Utah, has worked as an assistant at the Intel Computer Clubhouse in Salt Lake City for the past year.

"I started playing music when I was five or six years old: piano first, then guitar, bass, and drums. After my first computer experience, when I was about 18, I bought my own equipment and threw together a home studio and started producing my own albums. I'm just finishing my fourth album, and now I'm moving into a new creative area of mixed media, with music, video, and photography.

Since I started working at the Intel Computer Clubhouse last year, I've gained an incredible amount of technological knowledge. I work 20-25 hours a week, and sometimes I come in on my days off because I've gotten into elaborate projects with the kids. The experience of working here has been so much fun that it doesn't feel like a job.

My music is mostly storytelling songs. I try to reinvent my sound and purpose with almost every song, but I guess you could call it progressive and sonic rock.

I'm not that interested in marketing my own music right now. I've got about 30 songs on a Web site and I'll add more whenever they're done. They're available to download for free at www.mp3.com/kiril*.

In the future I'd like to find a way to succeed in the music business without having to sell too many chunks of my soul. But right now I want to focus on finishing school and being prepared for the possibility of success. There's no telling what life will bring."
