Career

Kovačević released a few singles in 1974 with the newly formed band Čisti zrak .

Together with Teška Industrija Kovačević recorded the two albums "Teška industrija (1976)" and "Zasviraj i za pojas zadjeni (1978)". In 1978 Kovačević separated from Teška Industrija to begin a solo career and to record the album "Stižemo" together with Goran Ivandić and Laza Ristovski , which had to be postponed due to a drug affair in which all three were arrested. In 1982 he released his first solo album entitled "Prvak svijeta". After the release of his second album in 1984, which was called "Pepeljuga u džinsu", Kovačević withdrew from the music scene to concentrate on songwriting. Until his sudden death on March 9, 2014, he wrote many successful songs for several well-known music groups, including the hit "Denny" by the band COD .
