Also, as a young man he learned to play the quitar and performed in many Churches and sang ancient Hymns and Croatian Folk songs. More recently his influences stem from American Country, Blues and Jazz music which is visible in these latest compositions. Since he was 11, his attention turned to melodic composition and the craft of songwriting, and by applying his world experiences and influences, Lorens has since composed well over 300 songs.
