Emil Loparski is a bulgarian composer, pianist, vocalist, photographer and music video director.

He was born on 3d of December 1980 in Sofia, Bulgaria. He started playing the piano when he was only 5 year old. In his early ages, he doesn't feel too inspired taking the piano lessons, mostly because he doesn't like the classical stuff that he was supposed to play. His teacher, Krasimir Karadimchev, advises him to prepare for the Music Academy with a wind kind of instrument, since he thinks Loparski doesn't feel dedicated enough to the piano. Emil quits with the piano, as he says later, all because of the classical pieces that he was pushed to learn. Two years later he buys the swedish guitar virtuoso Yngwie Malmsteen album - "The Seventh Sign", which makes him reconsider his opinion about the classical music, since he likes how the swedish mixed it with heavy metal.

Emil starts getting back in form, and also he starts composing. He joins his first band - Blackmoon Wolves in 1995. The band has a demo album, released in 1996. Later that year he joins ADRENALINE and he leaves the band in 1999. He's' been selected for Boris Soltariiski's HAZART project as their new keyboard player, but he tells them that he won't be able to join the band, because he doesn't have his own instrument. As a huge Billy Sheehan fan, he becomes a bass player and forms a new band playing songs by Extreme, Mr. Big, Marty Friedman, Whitesnake, Steve Vai and David Lee Roth with Daniel Donchov as a guitar player, and at that time he's just borrowing a bass guitar from a friend. His first instrument, however is a keyboard, and it's Roland D10, for which Emil is very grateful to his parents. Emil is also one of the founding members of the pop band COCA, together with Jivomir Jivkov as a vocalist and Tony Language as their guitar player. The band has an unreleased album in 2002. At the same time Loparski also joins the famous bulgarian band - KONKURENT.

Between 2001 and 2003 the band has only one recorded song, which is actually a Christmas song, and the credits to it should be given to the english rock band - Uriah Heep... However in 2002 they release an album called "Escape From the Paradise" which was recorded five years earlier, with different members from the band. Emil could be seen in three music videos from that album (check the videos below). In 2003, after a live show in the city of Haskovo, Bulgaria, the frontman of the band, Emil Anchev, famous for money frauds, and bad relations with his musicians, leaves the band behind, without even notifying them, taking one of the two cars, leaving four people behind, with their instruments (including drums, guitars, keyboards and amps) with the other car. At the very same day, Emil calls the today's "Voice of Bulgaria" star Nikola Zdravkov, and the new supergroup of Bulgaria was born! They named it - TORNADO (a.k.a Tornado Rockband)
Between 2003 and 2011 TORNADO has released only 5 songs: " Messed Up Country"- 2006, "Starting All Over"-2007 with Kamen Vodenicharov as an executive producer, "Stay With Me"-2008, "Your Eyes Are Talking"-2009 and "Memories"-2010. At the same time Emil also records two instrumental solo albums "The Dark Side Of My Mind"-2007 and "Another Dimension"-2010. Emil has been constantly into verbal fights with the other band members over the musical direction of the band, as the vocalist pushes to a classic 70s rock direction, and Emil wants a newer approach, with some electronic and rap elements. What is interesting is that, the only songs that were able to hit the BG Radio charts, were the electronic remixes of the main songs, which included only Emil and Niki's work. That hasn't been accepted very well from the other guys.

Loparski's been pushed out from the band, because of a trash talk towards the guitar player. He records a rap version of "Your Eyes Are Talking" to make fun of his former colleague. This negative reaction from him has a good outcome, since this experiment shows him he has a talent behind the microphone.

After some unsuccessful attempts to regain his relationships with his former bandmate, Loparski forms a brand new, girl band, and they have a decent song called "I Remember" . This song's demo passes the initial EUROVISION audition.

Emil starts travelling, the very same year he visits Rabat, Morocco, and 2012 he spends in UAE and India where he starts developing his talent drastically, while educating himself in both singing and mixing and mastering audio. As a result, NIGHTMARE (RUN FOR YOUR LIFE) was born, mixing rock, drum n base, opera, and classical music into one outstanding instrumental song. India is where Emil starts learning the video editing, and that's when he comes with the video of "Hurricane". He buys his first DSLR, Canon 5D Mark III, so he could shoot his music videos.

In 2013 Emil flies back to Bulgaria and films I AIN'T GONNA STAND THIS ANYMORE, together with the talented singer Gabriela Tsvetanova. Rock, rapping and a catchy chorus line is Loparski's favorite formula. However the nature of the song causes problems. I AIN'T GONNA STAND THIS ANYMORE is against the actual Government of Bulgaria. The song has been banned from YouTube twice, once it reached 2 500 000 views, and also a second time, when it reached around 230 000 views. The video was not played on any TV or radio station because of a strong censorship...

In 2014 Emil directs Plamen Denchev's first solo song's video - "I Know How".

DON'T WANNA BREATHE is Emil Loparski & Gabriela's next single and it's been released in May 2016. The masterpiece video was shot in Salalah, Oman. The song's genre is Electronic Pop, with some blazing vocals performed by Gabriela.. One year later, there's a new song SOME DAY, third single, third genre, once again with Gabriela behind the microphone. It's a pop-folk ballad with a real heroic guitar solo, performed by the bulgarian virtuoso Ivan Manoloff. It's Emil again who deals with the music video, which was shot in Qingdao, China.

Right after that, Emil and Gabriela travel to Greenland where they start working on their latest project - "When I See You", which is expected to hit the internet in late 2019. At the same time Loparski directs the music video for the Greenlandic band SUERNERIT - "Pigaakkit".

For a first time since 2011, Emil performs home, with Gabriela, in 2018-2019 during the winter season, playing in the cities of Bansko, Belogradchik, Kyustendil, Svishtov, Veliko Tirnovo, Etropole, Botevgrad and Sandanski.

The remake of the "I REMEMBER" with the great Mihaela Staykova on vocals, is being expected to be out at the end of 2019.
