Simeon Atanasov (44), the adopted son of Esma and Stevo Teodosievski, whose two children bear their name, lived with his music mentors in Belgrade from the age of seven, first playing the tarabuka, and then became a student in the pop school of Stevo Teodosievski and member of "Esma - Ensemble Teodosievski". Later he started playing the accordion and became a top musician and composer. He is the author of many songs that Esma recorded, and after Stevo's death he became the leader of "Esma - Ensemble Teodosievski", later "Esma Band", and performed more than 3,000 concerts on all continents.
He revealed to us that he has been writing a book for a long time, whose working title is "Professor Stevo and us", in which he will reveal many unknown things related to him and the lives of all the children adopted by the spouses Teodosievski.
- I started writing the book before Esma died. She will be very honest, I will say many things, I will simply open my heart. I know many will be surprised. We will also talk about our going to "Eurovision" and the replacement of the song "Empire", whose authors were me and Borce Necovski, for not giving permission to build a house in Vodno, for the great successes, concerts, tours, meetings, but also disappointments. I collaborate with the writer Aleksandar Kujundziski from the publishing house "Anthologist", who helps me in writing - Atanasov revealed to us.
