Biography
Miroslav Kostadinov, better known as Miro, was a member of the Bulgarian duet KariZma. Born in Dobrich, Bulgaria Kostadinov began playing the piano the moment he sat in front of a musical instrument.

Miro has been in the music industry for a total of 16 years and has already has won two prestigious awards in Varna Discovery.

They were entitled "Ever Before" and "Lose Control ", the latter being the first single in his debut solo record "Omirotvoren".

Other artists in the running were Slavi Trifonov, Maria Ilieva, Lili Ivanova, Elitsa Todorova and Stoyan Yankoulov, the 2007 Bulgarian representatives.
