About Milić Vukašinović

Milić "Mića" Vukašinović (Serbian Cyrillic: Милић-Мића Вукашиновић; born 9 March 1950) is a Serbian and Yugoslav musician and songwriter, best known as the vocalist, guitarist and songwriter of the hard rock and heavy metal band Vatreni Poljubac. Vukašinović has also recorded a number of solo albums, and was a one-time drummer for popular rock bands Indexi and Bijelo Dugme. Vukašinović started his career in Sarajevo in the mid-1960s, playing in local bands. In 1970, he became the drummer for Indexi, and in 1976 joined Bijelo Dugme as a temporary replacement for their drummer Ipe Ivandić, recording the album Eto! Baš hoću! with the group. Upon leaving Bijelo Dugme in 1977, Vukašinović started Vatreni Poljubac, achieving nationwide popularity with the group and earning the nickname "Doktor za rokenrol" ("Doctor of Rock 'n' Roll", after the title of the band's first hit). He disbanded Vatreni Poljubac in 1985, after recording seven studio albums with the group. Following the disbandment of Vatreni Poljubac, he has released several solo albums. In 1997, he moved to Belgrade, where he reformed Vatreni Poljubac, continuing to simultaneously record and release new albums with different lineups of the group and his solo albums. In addition to releasing eleven studio albums with Vatreni Poljubac and nine solo studio albums, Vukašinović has worked as a songwriter, instrumentalist and a producer with a number of popular Yugoslav folk singers like Hanka Paldum and Toma Zdravković.
