Unlike most teens, Maksim didn't have your typical high school education.
You see, Croatia was part of Yugoslavia until quite recently, and then a civil war broke out in 1990, when Maksim was 15.
So I guess he didn't have much of a chance to study in a "conventional" school.
As Yugoslavia was a communist country then, music wasn't exactly given lots of priority either, which is why he had to spend most of his music learning in the basement.
