Born (not by his guilt) in Negotin, Serbia on the first of July 1955. He finished his primary and secondary school in Vranje (also not by his guilt).

He has been dealing with music since he was 8 years old (he couldn't do it earlier). He attended musical school in Vranje (piano and accordion department; trumpets and Goran Bregovic were discovered later).

Far back in 1967. he started performing with his first band, VIS "SVRCE". They were playing at school dances and other similar occasions. He was playing harmonium (there wasn't organ yet at that time, at least not where they were playing) and he was singing as well. At that time amplifiers with the strenght of "all" 20 watts were used and there was also the old radio set KOSMAJ to help out. It was less powerful -6 watts, of relative musical power although.

When he enrolled in secondary school he started to play in the best band or VIS (as it was called back then; means: vocaly instrumental group) in the south of Serbia, by botanical name "ORHIDEJE". At that time he was playing his first serious instrument - organ by VOX firm, "Corential" model with all 7 registers and 5 octaves. In the repertoire were compositions of bands: "Indexi", "Korni grupa", "Tajm", "YU grupa" and attempts of cover versions, as successful as possible, of Santana, Led Zeppelin, Deep Purple, Uriah Heep and others, of course with exquisite "english-holland" pronunciation (so no one can understand).

On September 1974. he enrolled in the school of mechanical engineering in Belgrade and soon after that he became the member of the band "AMIGOS" (the oldest by their time of playing in the capital city). In the band he was playing organ (finally HAMMOND M100) and singing at then still very popular dances at Masinac, Studentski grad and on the sport filds of Mali Kalemegdan during the summer (the famous Kalis since the time of Mile Lojpur).

Since 1977. to 1980. he was singing in the choir "Branko Krsmanovic" and with his friends from the choir he ounded one of the best vocal bands around here called "POP POLIFONIJA". The band had 8 vocal members and the rhythm section - former members of "Korni grups": Bojan Hreljac and Vladimir Furda. In the repertoire were: classical music (Bach, Mozart, Ravel), evergreen, jazz and authentic folk music adapted for polyfonic singing. There were also a lot of TV shows and the vocal supporting on the musical albums of many bands from "Bijelo dugme" to "Sedmorica mladih".The band got the chance to perform several concerts as THE FIRST of all bands with that not classical repertoire, at the prestigious "Kolarac"."POP POLIFONIJA" fell apart in 1981. "ASKE" were separated from the band (we thank them) and Nenad graduated mechanical engineering and, of course, he was going to serve the army (where?) in Kosovo in the same year. During his military service for almoust the year he organized and participated in over 100 performances and
competitions. Not enough?!

In the begining of 1983. he was going to his first tour abroad, through the Soviet Union, as the soloist with Radmila Karaklajic who was one of the biggest stars there. In less than three months 65 concerts were held in sixteen biggest towns of the Soviet Union - from Moscow, Leningrad to Novosibirsk. Just in Moscow fifteen concerts were held in the overcrowded hall "Russia" that can have 9000 visitors. Really the best way to learn how to do it. When you "cook" that, the rest is easy.

Together with the group of famous and acknowledged musicians from Belgrade (Rade Rajic, Rade Radivojevic, Kosta Popovic...) he was in the band called "FLASH" and they were performing at the biggest musical festivals in "the former Yugoslavia" -SPLIT 1984. and the first MESAM in Belgrade in 1985. At the ZAGREB festival in 1988. he was singing in duet with Jasmin Dedic and their song:"Vozovi, vlakovi" was declared as the most listened one in 1989.

Since 1989. he was performing exclusively alone with his guitar at well-known winter centers: Jahorina (Bistrica hotel), Bjelasnica (MOC),Kopaonik (GRAND hotel), Brezovica (MOLIKA hotel), but also in Dallas (USA, 1990.), Rome, Paris, Moscow, about ten times in Cyprus, Duesseldorf, Geneva and for the last four years he was having about twenty performances for people from around here in London.

My wish and desire is to present and share my talent and the joy of music with as many people as possible (from the Balkans) who are now living on different meridians. Over thirty years of professional dealing with music resulted with the huge repertoire of over 4000 songs from chansones, ballads, hits to russian-gipsy songs and authentic folk songs. I am trying to preserve part of that knowledge and make it available to all devotees of my talent through my CDs. I promise there will be more songs from Vranje, Kosovo, Bosnia, Dalmatia and Montenegro and also some old and forgotten tunes that we grew up with and learned how to love from them.

Your Nenad Janjic, for friends Nesa Vranjanac
