Sasa Kovacevic at the Sports Centre in Pozarevac on October 30 - third stop on a tour through the smaller towns

Sasa Kovacevic performs at the Sports Centre in Pozarevac on October 30 from 8pm. Tickets run around 789 denars through tickets.rs.

Kovacevic was born on July 27, 1985 in Zemun, where he finished the "Kosta Manojlovic" music school on piano, then went on to study recording and sound design at the Academy of Arts. That is not the usual path for a pop singer from this region - most of his colleagues have no formal musical training, let alone a producer's education.

His first television appearance came in 2004 at the Suncane skale festival with the song "Pakao i raj". He did not win anything, but the performance opened doors. Next came the single "Jedina si vredela", which turned into a major hit, and in 2006 he recorded his first album for City Records, with "Lagala me il' ne lagala" and "Ruka za spas" - the latter named song of the year. His second album, "Ornament" in 2010, locked in the status.

"Bezimo iz grada" became the summer hit of 2011, and "Korak do dna" is among the songs that stayed longest on playlists. Two decades on, Kovacevic is one of those Serbian pop names who reliably fill sports halls out in the smaller towns, not just in Belgrade.

Pozarevac is the third stop of the tour, after Kragujevac and Sabac in October and before Krusevac and Uzice in November.
