Vuk Muškinja

Born in Sremska Mitrovica, Vuk Muškinja finished design school in Novi Sad. Afterwards, he graduated from the Academy of fine arts in Belgrade on wall painting. But, this painter always had his own, let us call it, musical side…

– I am engaged in music for over twenty years, but I started playing in the streets back in 1997. Playing in the street was, of course, mostly for fun and a wish to share some new songs. I played with many bands, and now I begin to comprehend that I am best when I am solo – Vuk (Wolf) had that typically lonely wolf statement.

Several years ago, also on the Street Musicians Festival, he performed as a member of the Lost Professors band. Afterwards, he won first place on Takt Fest in the Novi Sad café Pero. “A year or two later, I was in the band Šesto čulo (Sixth Sense), and the last couple of years I started learning to sing in foreign languages as are Greek, Romanian, Bulgarian, Portuguese… I know several Greek songs from which I would especially like to perform at least one on the festival in Novi Sad”, announced this year’s performance on the Street Musicians Festival poet, composer, guitarist and singer Vuk Muškinja.
