Slavov was born in 1973 in Sofia, Bulgaria. In 2002, he completed a master's degree in computer science and began working for a software company, but eventually switched fields to music. Slavov has stated that his experience in IT helped him in his later career as a video game composer, but not being classically trained was challenging and meant he had to catch up.
