In 1967 he had a cameo appearance in the famous Yugoslav Black Wave film Kad budem mrtav i beo by the acclaimed director Živojin Pavlović.

Jovanović moved to France where he played various clubs as well as in metro stations. Much like other hippies of the period, he also visited Goa in India where he performed with rock and jazz musicians from all around the world. Being good at fashion design and tailoring, in the mid-1970s he opened a clothing store on Ibiza, where in 1980 he met the members of the West German rock group Jane.

He played a session gig at the exhibition of the prominent Yugoslav comic book artist Igor Kordej, together with another musician, Miško Mihajlovski, with whom he formed the group D' Boys in 1982, nicknaming himself Peđa D'Boy. D' Boys became popular all around former Yugoslavia for their humorous style and partying image, and especially for its synthpop hit "Jugoslovenka" (Yugoslav girl), although they were often mocked by the media for their trivial lyrics. The group released two albums, Ajd' se zezamo and Muvanje. After few years, Miško Mihajlovski left the band and started performing as Miško D' Boys, while the rest of the group led by Peđa D' Boy changed its name to Peđa D' Boy Band and released their album Avantura in 1985. Later, Peđa started a solo career and represented SFR Yugoslavia at the Song of the Mediterranean festival in Palermo, where he got the second prize. He also took part in YU Rock Misija, the Yugoslav contribution to Band Aid. After releasing his album Laku ti noć mala produced by Kornelije Kovač, Peđa left the country in 1987.

In 1997, in London, he recorded a new material, produced by Mark Evans, including a remix of the D'Boys best known hit "Jugoslovenka". He resides in Belgrade where he still performs. In May 2007, he took part in Veliki Brat VIP, local version of the celebrity Big Brother reality show, featuring popular personalities from Serbia, Bosnia, and Montenegro. Source: Wikipedia -

Sve popularnija mlada Zvezda Granda Uroš Živković rođen je 1999. godine u Beogradu. Sa samo osam godina Uroš je počeo da trenira fudbal uz starijeg brata Miloša, međutim bilo je jasno da je Uroš izuzetno talentovan za pevanje. Odrastao je uz muziku svojih muzičkih uzora Šabana Šaulića i Ljube Aličića, a što se tiče pop žanra istakao je da mu je omiljena domaća grupa Amadeus Bend. Sa svojih 16 godina prijavio se za desetu sezonu takmičenja Zvezde Granda, gde je uspeo da uđe u super – finale koje se održalo u Sarajevu. Nije uspeo da osvoji prvo mesto, koje je pripalo njegovom drugaru Ibri Bublinu, mada je Uroš bio favorit do samog kraja takmičenja. Tokom takmičenja najviše lepih komentara dobijao je od Šabana Šaulića i Dragana Stojkovića Bosanca za kojeg važi da je veoma strog i da ga retko koji izvođač oduševi. Iako nije uspeo da pobedi u takmičenju, nakon istog on se posvetio svojoj karijeri koja je i te kako u usponu. Počeo je da zakazuje nastupe u Srbiji i regionu, ali i u diskotekama širom Evrope.

B.U.G. Mafia
B.U.G. Mafia (an abbreviation for "Bucharest Underground Mafia"), is a Romanian hip hop group from Pantelimon, Bucharest, widely regarded as one of the seminal acts of gangsta rap in Romania. Founded in 1993 as Black Underground, its original lineup consisted of Vlad "Tataee" Irimia, Dragoș "Caddillac" Vlad-Neagu and two other members, D.D. and Mr.Nobody, who, by the end of the year, had left the group. Irimia and Vlad-Neagu, who were still teenage high school students at the time, had been working on amateur solo recordings and had little professional prospects on their own prior to their encounter. The group initially performed as a duo throughout Bucharest at local highschool proms and parties while considering their options for professional careers in music and, following a string of relatively unsuccessful attempts at promoting their music in English, they recruited Alin "Uzzi" Demeter in 1995 and eventually transitioned to writing in Romanian. Throughout the years, the group endured a long-standing controversy due to the explicit and confrontational nature of their lyrics. Focusing on subjects such as the post-communist Romanian political class, poverty and crime in Romania's communist-built housing projects or their recurring hostility towards Romanian Police, they were subsequently banned from many mainstream T.V. and radio stations in Romania and even at times prevented from touring, spending a night in police custody after their first concert in Drobeta-Turnu Severin in 1997. Although controversial in their incipient years, their lyricism has been praised by a number of literary figures, such as Emil Brumaru and Mircea Cărtărescu. Despite being independently produced on a modest budget over just a few months in 1995, their debut album Mafia signified the birth of Romanian gangsta rap and established them on the fledgling hip hop scene emerging at the time in Romania. They have been estimated to have sold over 1,150,000 records. Most popular songs are: Strazile, Cand Trandafirii Mor, Pana Cand Moartea Ne Va Desparti, Viata Noastra, and many more. B.U.G. Mafia is still one of the most popular Romanian bands whose members live in Bucharest, Romania. Source: Wikipedia -

Vladimir Furdik
Vladimir Furdik (born July 1, 1970) known as "Furdo", is a stunt performer and actor who played Night King in "Game of Thornes". Other notable films Furdik has appeared in include The Three Musketeers (1993), The Messenger: The Story of Joan of Arc (1999), Kingdom of Heaven (2005), Sherlock Holmes: A Game of Shadows (2011), Skyfall (2013) and Thor: The Dark World (2013). He was a member of Tostabur Espadrones, a group which practiced, performed and celebrated traditional fighting skills and weaponry in Bratislava and throughout Czechoslovakia. He was also involved with the Borseus group, which was led by the influential Slovakian stunt performer Gustáv Kyselica. Furdo may have started his career as an actor and stuntman in his native Slovakia 40 years ago, but his first big Hollywood break came in the early 1990s, when he was hired first to carry out stunts on the low-budget horror movie Tremors before hitting the big time with a gig performing the fight scenes in the A-list film, The Three Musketeers, starring Charlie Sheen and Kiefer Sutherland. It was this movie, and the three-months of filming alongside famous actors and fellow stuntmen and women, that convinced Furdik that this was the career path he wanted to follow from that point on. Interesting fact about Vladimir is that, despite his involvement with and inside knowledge of GoT, he doesn’t really consider himself a fan of the popular HBO show. Although he has watched a few episodes, and has to avoid questions from friends and reporters about what is going to be happening in upcoming seasons, he prefers to watch action movies, particularly martial arts films. He says he finds these more interesting, as they are more relevant to his skills and interests. After double role in Game of Thrones, Furdik's career is increasing and he becomes one of the most frequent guests on Comic Cons worldwide. Various sources. -

Slađa Delibašić
Slađana Slađa Delibašić (November 7, 1968) is a Serbian pop singer and dancer. She is the former wife of Đole Ðogani (married 1986, divorced 2001) and also a former member of the Đogani duo. She gave birth to two of Đole's three children. From 1992 until 2001, she was the female of the dance duo Đogani. They were considered as one of the most famous dance entertainers in the Serbian musical industry. In the year 2001 Delibašić divorced her husband of 15 years, leaving the duo and embarking on a solo career. A few months later, Delibašić place was eventually filled in by Vesna Trivić who eventually became Đole's second wife. In 2001, she released her first solo album, called "Šesto čulo" (Sixth sense), and it was a successful comeback. Songs "Neću da slušam laži", "Žene", "Daj" i "Moćnica" became instant hits. In 2002, she released her second album "Kraljica ritma/Slađa zauvek" (Queen of the rhythm/Slađa forever). It was a more successful album then the former. Songs included in the album include "Svake noći", "Izađi", "Pusti me", "Na određeno" shortly after became hits. "Kraljica ritma" song was one of the most successful singles of all time in the Serbian dance music industry. In 2004, she released a new album called "Nekad i sad" (Then and Now). It later approved as a fiasco in all ways, making only one song possible hit. "Dupla doza" was a Latino rhythm song. The fiasco is mainly considered to be a collateral damage of her and Đole "media war", and bad promotion of the album. In late 2006, it was confirmed that Slađa was in studio, and recordings for the new album are being taken. Later, it was announced that album will be named "Baš to..." (Exactly that...). On 14.02.2007, promotion was done in one of the famous Belgrade clubs. Just a few days later, it was obvious that the "Baš to..." album will be one of the most successful albums that year. The first single was "Don perinjon (Poznata, viđena, slavna)" (Don Perignon - Famous, seen, popular). It was a mega hit contributing a fairly anonymous DJ MIjat (Dj Miat). Second single was "Sedmi sprat" (Seventh floor). It instantly became the biggest clubbing mega hit of all time. The album "Baš to..." was promoted in Europe, US and Australia club tours that lasted until late 2008. It is estimated that some 700,000 people participated the club shows. In January 2010, she was a guest in the new album of her former husband and his new wife, today's duo "Đogani". She participated in the song "Hajmo sad u provod...", (Let's party me and you..). This song was a shock for Balkan publicity, most probably for the new video, in which Slađa and Vesna (former enemies) are singing about their (former) housband Đole being a sex-maniac. On June 1, 2010, in an interview for "SVET" tabloid, Đole Đogani confirmed that on new tour for Đogani duo, Slađa is going to be a partner, so many of the shows will be combined with Slađa's promotion of her upcoming album "Pet".

Candace Fleming: "I have always been a storyteller. Even before I could write my name, I could tell a good tale. And I told them all the time. As a preschooler, I told my neighbors all about my three-legged cat named Spot. In kindergarten, I told my classmates about the ghost that lived in my attic. And in first grade I told my teacher, Miss Harbart, all about my family's trip to Paris, France. I told such a good story that people always thought I was telling the truth. But I wasn't. I didn't have a three-legged cat or a ghost in my attic, and I'd certainly never been to Paris, France. I simply enjoyed telling a good story... and seeing my listener's reaction. Sure, some people might have said I was a seven-year old fibber. But not my parents. Instead of calling my stories "fibs" they called them "imaginative." They encouraged me to put my stories down on paper. I did. And amazingly, once I began writing, I couldn't stop. I filled notebook after notebook with stories, poems, plays. I still have many of those notebooks. They're precious to me because they are a record of my writing life from elementary school on. In second grade, I discovered a passion for language. I can still remember the day my teacher, Miss Johnson, held up a horn-shaped basket filled with papier-mache pumpkins and asked the class to repeat the word "cornucopia." I said it again and again, tasted the word on my lips. I tested it on my ears. That afternoon, I skipped all the way home from school chanting, "Cornucopia! Cornucopia!" From then on, I really began listening to words--to the sounds they made, and the way they were used, and how they made me feel. I longed to put them together in ways that were beautiful, and yet told a story. As I grew, I continued to write stories. But I never really thought of becoming an author. Instead, I went to college where I discovered yet another passion--history. I didn't realize it then, but studying history is really just an extension of my love of stories. After all, some of the best stories are true ones -- tales of heroism and villainy made more incredible by the fact they really happened. After graduation, I got married and had children. I read to them a lot, and that's when I discovered the joy and music of children's books. I simply couldn't get enough of them. With my two sons in tow, I made endless trips to the library. I read stacks of books. I found myself begging, "Just one more, pleeeeease!" while my boys begged for lights-out and sleep. Then it struck me. Why not write children's books? It seemed the perfect way to combine all the things I loved: stories, musical language, history, and reading. I couldn't wait to get started. But writing children's books is harder than it looks. For three years I wrote story after story. I sent them to publisher after publisher. And I received rejection letter after rejection letter. Still, I didn't give up. I kept trying until finally one of my stories was pulled from the slush pile and turned into a book. My career as a children's author had begun." Sources: Amazon -

Eddie Lenihan
Edmund Lenihan (born 1950), also known as Eddie Lenihan, is an Irish author, storyteller, lecturer and broadcaster. He is one of the few practicing seanchaithe (traditional Irish lore-keepers and tale-spinners) remaining in Ireland. He has been called "one of the greatest of Irish story-tellers" and "a national treasure". Lenihan is a native of Brosna, County Kerry, Ireland, but currently resides in Crusheen, County Clare. His college education was at Saint Ita's College in Abbeyfeale, County Limerick and University College in Galway. He is a collector and preservationist of folk tales, recording stories told by older people as passed to them in oral tradition, and then distributing them to a wider audience via print, audio and filmed recordings. Lenihan is particularly well known for his tales of Irish folk heroes, fairies, fallen angels, and other supernatural beings as recorded in Irish mythology, folklore and oral history. He has also published poetry, stories about historical and legendary women of Ireland, and railroad history. In his role as a cultural preservationist he maintains the largest private collection of folklore in Ireland. His first local reputation developed as an enthusiastic children's storyteller. But as his international storytelling reputation grew, he has appeared in the film, The Fairy Faith, in a series of programs on BBC radio, and at numerous high-profile folk festivals. In the 2004 reprint of his 2003 book, Meeting the Other Crowd: The Fairy Stories of Hidden Ireland Mr. Lenihan explained his continuing dismay at the rapid loss of Irish cultural heritage and artifacts resulting from industrialization of rural Ireland. He described his motivation to preserve hill forts, rural dwellings and native plants in the context of general preservation of folkways. He also briefly described how his conservation ethics had come to disagreement with the centralized progressive goals of modernist planners. This had come to international attention in 1999 when Lenihan had stood up to road builders in County Clare who had wanted to cut down a special white thorn tree. (The white thorn is considered in local Irish lore, and Celtic folklore in general, to be sacred to the Aos Sí – the fairy folk of Ireland.) In local tradition, this specific tree was believed to serve as the meeting place for the fairies of Munster whenever they prepared to ride against the fairies of Connacht. His activism and protests had made international headlines, and succeeded in altering the road project to spare the tree. Mr. Lenihan is not a violent activist. In the 1999 incident he used the tactic of mobilizing public awareness by telling the old, traditional stories that mentioned the traditional significance of the tree, as well as the punishments that came to those who harmed the abodes of the fairies. Eddie Lenihan is one of the greatest Irish authors and storytellers at this moment who is telling his stories all over the world. Source: Wikipedia -
