He started playing various stringed instruments at 5 years old, to finally commit to the guitar at the age of 9. In his early youth, he was a member of a band from Čačak, called Dečaci sa Morave (Boys from Morava). In 1970, he played frequently in various clubs in Belgium. Not long after, in 1971 he forms Smak (eng. Endtime), a rock band from Kragujevac, Serbia, which would become one of the most popular bands in the region, being widely considered as one of the best Yugoslav bands of all time. He is the leading composer and guitarist for the band. Their first full-length album, Smak, was released in 1975. It was a major success, and followed up by what many considered their best record, Crna dama (eng.Black Lady), in 1977. The album was recorded in Morgan Studios, and produced by Martin Levan, a famous London producer, who, among others, worked on Iron Maiden's first album. The English version of the album was also released in 1978, called "Black Lady". These two albums showcased the scope of the band, which had incorporated various musical styles, such as blues, progressive rock, psychedelic rock, jazz rock, and the ethnic music from the region.
