Zoran Leković

In 1992, a group of enthusiasts led by Vojkanom Borisavljevicem initiated the movement of the big music festival in Budva, Pjesma Mediterana in co-production with RTV CG and RTS. For 3 years in a row, 1993/94/95, he appeared at this festival as the singer and writer of the songs "Ti si moj Bog" (meaning "You are My God") which won Award for Best Interpretation, "Probudi se andjele" (meaning "Wake Up Angel") which won Award of the Audience, and "Cinila sis to ti drago" (meaning "You did as you Wished") which won Award for the Best Lyrics. In a period of 3 years, together with his wife, he prepared the second album, but this time as the author of lyrics, performer, and co-producer with the arranger Laza Ristovski. The album was called "Reci mi" (meaning "Tell Me") published by PGP RTS in 1993. One of the episodes of the popular TV show "Muzicki portreti" was dedicated to this album. In 1996, in sales, he appeared with one more album, "Linija dodira" (meaning "Line of Touch"), also published by PGP-RTS. On this album, as bonus tracks, there were previously published songs (with independent festival labels). From 1993, Lekovic has been heavily involved in producing star singers. He has produced and written lyrics for songs which appear in over 30 CD's of different artists. Many of which were hit songs and won several awards. He produced and wrote for almost all major performers of folk and pop music, that include Ogi Radivojevic, Merima Njegomir, Adrijana Bozovic, Marija Serifovic, Sanja Đorđević, Tose Proeski, Natasa Bekvalac, Goca Trzan, Koktel Bend, Jellena, Cakana, Ekstra Nena, Maja Odzaklijevska etc.

In 1991 and 1992, the first two songs that he wrote for singers of folk music, one sung by Biljana Jeftic ("Suzo Jedina" meaning "My Only Tear") and the other sung by Slavko Banjac ("Zaspala mi dusa" meaning "My Soul Fell Asleep") resulted in a large positive reaction from the viewers and the songs had a huge amount of airplay. However, this time in Bosnia, Serbia, Macedonia and Montenegro. That was now his new market.

After returning from the Army (1977 to 1978), Lekovic's style shifted to pop rock. As a Yugoslav star in the USSR, he held around 400 concerts until 1986. He played to over 1 000 000 people in a single tour through multiple cities such as Moscow, St. Petersburg, Novosibirsk etc. He also had concert and television appearances in all major cities of the then Soviet Union (Kiev, Tallinn, Riga, Vilnius, Rostov, Sochi, Kiev, Minsk ..). During this period he also started acting in musicals with main roles in Popeye, Red Riding Hood, Hansel and Gretel, Cinderella and Koprive.

Born and raised in Belgrade, Serbia (then Yugoslavia), Lekovic began singing in Kolibri Choir in 1962 (at the age of 5). His first big solo performance with the choir was at Dom Sindikata. He performed alongside other stars including Arsen Dedić, Zdravko Colic, Indexi, Oliver Dragojevic, Lola Novaković etc. The performance caught the attention of the great composer of children's music entertainment, Aleksandar Korac. With this collaboration, he became one of Serbia's biggest ever pop sensations whilst still in his teens. With almost 1000 performances until 1977, performances at festivals, TV appearances, awards and accolades, and pop hits, he was easily one of Serbia's biggest ever pop sensations whilst still in his teens. So famous was he that he also performed several times for Yugoslav president Tito (for example for Tito's birthday and during foreign delegation events).

Zoran Lekovic (born June 8, 1957) is a famous Yugoslav pop singer. He first rose to national prominence at the early age of 13 with First Prizes at the Sanremo Music Festival, Beogradsko Prolece Festival, and Golden Rose Festival in Portoroz with the song "Ljubomora" (meaning "Jealousy"). A teen sensation who played for Yugoslav president Tito, he continued his stardom as a singer, producer, performer, author of lyrics and composition in the Yugoslav pop scene, with numerous published No.1 Hits, including that of "Niko Niko", "Snezana" and "Ona Je Najlepsa". He has also produced numerous Eastern European pop stars, collecting many awards and generating a lot of airplay along the way. He is an alumnus of the Faculty of Dramatic Arts, Belgrade (where he graduated in Radio and Theatre Production).
