Interview by Karl Jorssen Editor-In-Chief
1. Tell us about having a musical career in this market.
I enjoy it, it’s my childhood dream and I’m still a bit of a child still, so I have this little dream world that I live in. My experiences through the lyrics and me singing, it is important. This market is hard for the music that I make, my [audience] are people that are of the minority and at the same time there is not a good platform in the media. If I had some magnificent conditions, maybe I wouldn’t be so popular, it’s always a struggle, sometimes the result is a joyful thing.
2. Latest project?
The new album, Sudar, was released in March, continuing in 2009, so continuing with promoting the album.
3. Musical influences?
When I was little I listened to 80’s music, I was born in 1975 so the music of the 80’s influenced me most; U2, Duran Duran, Simple Minds, George Michael, the Eurythmics, Cindy Lauper. Those were the years I started listening to music, I was very young, I preferred the melodies and harmonies of English. Now when I make my songs the melodies are always the same. New songs are all about the production of recognizable melodies but I prefer 80’s melodies that I try to put into modern music, beats.
4. Any return to film in the cards?
I just received my diploma this year after so many years, but I don’t think I have any will or interest to do that again. But I am interested in TV production, maybe travel or music – I would like to produce something. But my first love is music. I’ve managed my own career for so many years, in a way it’s the same for film and TV.
5. Europe or America?
Europe, although I really like New York.
6. Me too, capital of the world. Obama or Sarkozy?
Obama
7. Abba or Fleetwood Mac
Fleetwood Mac
8. What’s playing on your iPod right now?
I don’t have an iPod, it’s stupid I know; a singer without an iPod but I’m not much of a technical person
9. So what’s in your CD player then?
It’s Pussycat Dolls, Duffy, Alicia Keys John Legend.
10. Are things improving in Belgrade?
The talent is improving. I’m always optimistic, I think yes, there is a lot of improvement. A lot of cool shops, restaurants, cool clubs, you have more concerts than before – ‘A’ list acts are coming to Belgrade, now things are really improving. The more things you have musically in this town the more it will develop.
