Biography[edit]

Bulić finished his schooling in Čitluk and at Mostar, graduating in electrical engineering. However, he decided not to pursue a teaching job in Mostar and moved to Frankfurt where he married and started a family. It was not until later that he began to develop his music career. It was not until the early 1990s that he began recording, and in 1994 his first album was released. He is known for using numerous elements of traditional Croatian music which he incorporates into his music, such as the use of the lijerica and the singing of ganga. He has collaborated with many Croatian artists, most notably Miroslav Škoro and Marko Perković.[2]
