Musical career
editMihajlović started his career as a guitarist in a progressive rock group Limunovo Drvo, which, formed in 1978 by himself and Milan Mladenović (guitar, vocals), after performing for two years moved towards new wave, with the arrival of Dušan Kojić "Koja" (bass, vocals) and Ivan Vdović "VD" (drums, backing vocals). In April 1980, Limunovo Drvo opened for Pankrti at Belgrade SKC. After the performance, Mihajlović left the band the rest decided to change the name to Šarlo Akrobata. The following year Mihajlović appeared as guest on their debut studio album Bistriji ili tuplji čovek biva kad... (Brighter or Dumber a Man Gets When...).[1]
After the Šarlo Akrobata disbandment, with his former bandmate Milan Mladenović he formed Katarina II. Having released their debut eponymous album, on which he appeared as a co-author of both music and song lyrics,[2] he left the band. After Katarina II he collaborated with Vlada Divljan on the Šest dana juna (Six Days of June)[3] soundtrack and Nebojša Krstić and Srđan Šaper album Poslednja mladost u Jugoslaviji (The Last Youth in Yugoslavia) before moving to the United States where he currently resides. In the meantime, in 1983, he made a guest appearance on the Du Du A debut album Primitivni ples (Primitive dance).[4]
