Music career

In mid 1988, Đanić, along with Siniša Vuco, formed the rock band Kleopatra.[2] The band released three singles "Odlazim", "Hladna noć", and "Svi u jedan glas".[3] The band broke up in late 1989.[2] After the break up of Kleopatra, Đanić, along with Zlatko Brodarić, formed the band Apokalipsa.[4] The band's debut album Ljubav za ljubav, bol za bol was released in 1991.[5]

Đanić has participated seven times in HRT Dora, Croatia's annual music competition and national selection for the Eurovision Song Contest.[6] He made his debut in 1996 performing "Sjaj u očima otkriva te", which finished fifth with 104 points.[7] He returned to the contest again in 1999 with "Dobro mi došla ljubavi" finishing sixth.[8] A year later in 2000, Đanić participated with the song "Srna i vuk" and finished third in the final with a total of 160 points.[9] Đanić participated in Dora 2003, performing "Moja lipa", written and composed by Tomislav Mrduljaš.[10] He reached the final from the second semifinal on 8 March 2003 and finished seventh in the final with 60 points.[10] After taking a four-year break from the contest, Đanić returned to the 2007 edition with the song "Pismom te ljubi milijun mandolina" and placed fifth.[11] A year later, in 2008, he finished eleventh with the song "Plava vještica" written by Miro Buljan and Nenad Ninčević.[12] The 2010 edition of the contest was the last one with Đanić as a participant.[13] With the song "Moja draga" he qualified from the semi-final on 5 March 2010 to the final the next day, where he placed eighth with 18 points.[14]

His best-known songs include "Lipoto moja", "Ćutin se lipo", "Gori more", "Zovem prijatelje moje", "Veći od ljubavi" and the Porin-winning hit "Jugo", all renowned for their emotional intensity and firm tenor delivery.[15][16][17][18]

Politics

Đanić has repeatedly sung at Croatian Party of Rights's pre-election rallies.[19] During the 2005 Croatian presidential election he sang at Jadranka Kosor's rallies.[20] During the 2011 Croatian parliamentary election he was a candidate of the Croatian Party of Rights in the third district but failed to be elected into the Croatian Parliament.[21]
