Serbian writer Danilo Kiš erased many of the differences between his life and his work, and he insisted on the unity of the two. Dejan shows similar intentions. The musical background of his family, involvement in the magic since his earliest age, talent and interests to develop that gift, are more than just commonplace biographical data.

Today he lives in Niš, the major city in Eastern Serbia: he is a classically trained musician who has made attempts at different forms and styles of music, and he has explored them both in the bands he was a member of or as a solo artist.

There are some constant points, however, throughout his spiritual biography which remain despite everything: his fondness of classical music, jazz, and intricate rhythmic patterns typical of the Balkans (he was born in Macedonia, one of the cradles of such music), as well as his ability to blend the past and the present without visible stitches, may be said to be his trademark.

These qualifications are far from even giving a hint of description of his work. His creative persona is still emerging and maturing, in a process which is never-ending, as is typical with true artists. His expression is likely to become even more articulate, given his dedication to his cause.

All you have to do is put your trust in his hands.
