Early life

Aleksandar Matić was born in Bihać, Bosnia and Herzegovina, the son of Zoran and Dragica.[1] He and his twin brother Dejan were born prematurely and had a difficult first few weeks of life, having to be placed in incubators in a Zagreb maternity hospital.[2] For unknown reasons, both babies became completely blind only days after birth. The family relocated to Belgrade in 1982, when the brothers were four years of age. It was in Belgrade that they attended music school, playing the piano. The Matić brothers finished their schooling in Zemun.

In addition to performances across eastern Europe, Matić has embarked on several tours for the Yugoslav diaspora on other continents. He has performed in the United States,[4][5] Australia,[6] and Canada.[7][8]

Matić attended the funeral of Velibor Vučurović, one of his songwriters who was murdered 27 March 2010, aged 30.[9][10]

He recorded the duets "Mešaj, mala" (2010) with Rada Manojlović,[11] and "More tuge" (2014) with Severina.[12][13]
