BACKGROUND

‍

Who are you and where are you from?

‍

Hi! My name is Dako Puač and I’m from Belgrade, Serbia.

I consider myself to be an artistic soul and I believe that good energy brings good vibes.

‍

‍

Do you remember how you started as an artist?

‍

I had aspirations for Art and Music from my early stages of life. The Rock and Roll energy and generally love for good music and art was inherited from my parents and my family. My older brother was a great inspiration for me as he had been drawing and painting incredible things from the moment I was born. So I had to catch up with him in a way.

‍

My parents owned a video store at one moment, so getting lost in cinema world became part of my life.In high school I got my first guitar and shortly started playing in a Heavy Metal band. At that point I knew I would dedicate my life to Sound and Music.

‍

Later I started studying Audio production and I still remember that feeling when I went to the first class of Sound Design for Movies and TV, I was like, finally everything makes sense! From that point on I tend to move Visuals with Sound and Music on a daily basis.

‍

What is your favorite part about working on projects?

‍

Working together with amazing people and artists is what moves me the most. Also, the possibility to constantly improve, and to create something special that can transmit good vibes.

‍

What motivates you and the work you do?

‍

On a daily basis I tend to let off boundaries and to find new ways of expressing myself with Sound and Music.

Music is one of the best ways of expressing oneself.
