Life and career

Marković began his career as Zlatko,[1] the main character of "Metla Bez Drške", a Serbian children's television series.[2] He also sang in the children's choir Kolibri, and appeared with the group in several TV shows, including "Deco Pevajte Sa Nama",[3] "Ispeci Pa Reci", "Sedefna Ruža"[4] and others.

As a teenager, he discontinued acting and singing and became an underground comic artist with dozens of other artists' and self-published fanzines.[5] Marković started using his alias "LoOney: in 1999 as art-name. In 2002, with a group of friends, he created and managed "Šlic Comix", an alternative comics magazine and weekly workshop.[6] Some comics were re-published internationally, and exhibitions traveled around Serbia, Croatia, Bosnia, Macedonia, Slovenia, Romania, Italy, and Sweden.[7] Marković later stopped drawing, but wrote for other artists.[8] In 2002, he started directing and editing hip-hop music videos.[9] Six years later, he became a filmmaker in Serbia. Marković directed TV shows "Hoću Da Znaš", "Siti i Vitki","X-Factor Adria" and edited TV shows "Zvezda Pre Svega", "Exit Kultomotivator",[10] "Exit U Pokretu" and "Ja Imam Talenat!".

In 2004, Marković self-published his first solo single "Jutro (Pametnije Od Noći)" with accompanying music video which got #2 place on, at that point, only domestic music video chart in Serbia on TV Metropolis. Marković was featured on other artists' albums and singles, including Struka's "Tajne", Lud's "Geto Riba" samples Janet Jackson's Let's Wait Awhile: and with accompanying music video featuring stars of a movie "Mi Nismo Anđeli 2."

In 2010, Marković released a mixtape "Featuring! Vol. 1".[11] Soon after that, Marković published a single "Mucam" with two remixes created by Serbian DJs, SevdahBaby and Flip.[12] SevdahBaby, amongst other celebrities, appears in "Mucam" music video, again directed by LoOney himself. Debut album "Kompromis", rare Serbian urban and RnB effort, finally saw the light of day in 2011 in digital form through MTV Adria Network websites.[13] In that way, album became accessible to the whole Adriatic region.[14] His latest single "(Hoću S Tobom Da) Đuskam / (I Wanna) Dance With You" was released in September 2013.[15]
