About Saša Lošić

Saša Lošić "Loša" (Serbian Cyrillic: Саша Лошић „Лоша”; born 19 July 1964) is a Bosnian singer, guitarist, songwriter, composer and music producer currently residing in Slovenia. He is best known as the frontman of the highly popular pop rock band Plavi Orkestar. Lošić started his musical career at the age of sixteen, forming Plavi Orkestar with a group of Sarajevo teenagers. The group gained nationwide popularity with their folk-influenced pop rock debut Soldatski bal, released in 1985, with Lošić and rest of the members rising to the status of Yugoslav teen stars, despite mixed reactions to the album coming from the country's music press. On their following release, 1986 album Smrt fašizmu!, Plavi Orkestar presented themselves with the New Partisans concept, to general dislike of the critics and lukewarm reaction of the group's fans. The band turned towards sentimental pop rock with their following two releases, scoring a number of hit songs. Plavi Orkestar disbanded with the outbreak of the Bosnian War in 1992, Lošić emigrating to Slovenia. During the 1990s, he wrote songs for other artists, including Crvena Jabuka, Severina, Rade Šerbedžija and Tanja Ribič, and started composing for theatre and cinema. In 1998, Plavi Orkestar reunited, seeing renewed popularity in former Yugoslav republics. Up to date, Lošić has released 7 studio albums with Plavi Orkestar and has composed music for 12 feature films, two television shows and a number of short films and theatre plays. He has performed his film music live with his Saša Lošić Film Orchestra.
