He has taken part in many Jazz and popular music Festivals, both as a student and as a professional performer. He has also made many recordings and appearances on Bulgarian National Radio and Television and is a best-selling recording artist in Bulgaria with hit recordings in 1992 and 1994. In addition to this, he has performed live in Helsenki, Oslo, Stockholm, Belgrade and at the Winter Olympics in Lillehammer, Norway. At present, he is working closely with Villi Kazassyan's Big Band and Acoustic Version, who are Bulgarian leading Jazz group.

He is the only one bulgarian performer who has released three LP albums in one year. The first one, called "The other one" (UMP) on MC, is with his own songs mostly; the other one called "Castrol Presents: Vassil Petrov" (Pulse Records) on MC & CD, is an all-cover album of well-known pop and jazz standarts. The third one is a duet album MC, CD, with famous bulgarian piano-player Rumen Toskov. We are enclosing all of these three albums. If there is a market in your country for these products, we can make the promotion together. In the beginning of the year Vassil Petrov had a few very successful concerts with Pleven's Philcharmonic Orchestra, and was acclaimed very eagerly from the audience and the critics. A few weeks ago Mr. Petrov was elected to be the number one male voice in Bulgaria for the First Bulgarian National Music Awards "Orpheus +" (the Bulgarian Grammy). He won in three cathegories Best Male Vocalist, Best Hit of the Year, Best Album of the Year for "The Other One ". Now Mr. Petrov is the best selling bulgarian performer and number one pop and jazz star in our country. In 1996 Vassil Petrov performed a few gigs in Florida backed by famous jazz players like Dan Moretti (saxophone) and Phil Provenzano (flugelhorn), and a month later performed at Apolonia Annual Festival Of Bulgarian Arts, backed by a string quarter (formed by the best bulgarian classical instrumentalists). There he presented his repertoire of pop standarts with classical arrangements. Among the material there where Beatles and Sting songs, as well as by many other artists. In the summer of 1997 Vassil Petrov performed again at Apolonia Annual Festival Of Bulgarian Arts to a standing ovation with The Pleven Philharmonic Orchestra, conducted by Mr. George Notev, and duelling with National Bulgarian Opera vocal soloist Mrs. Krassimira Stoyanova. On December 411' he had a sweeping success in Plovdiv, performing with the Plovdiv Philharmonic Orchestra, conducted by Mr. Liubomir Denev and soloist the famed opera singer Christina Angelakova. On Christmas Eve same year Vassil Petrov performed in Logano, Switzerland. These days Vassil Petrov is planning to do much more experimental work in the field of pop with his own compositions, though never losing his unique jazz-flavored vocal style. Vassil Petrov has been influenced by many performers in pop and jazz, perhaps none more so than the late Frank Sinatra. Vassil Petrov is determined, however, to develop his own style.
