genres (blues, jazz...).
As a highschool boy, he makes his first studio
recordings at Studio 13 RTB, which were produced by
Miodrag Bata Kostic. At this time, he meets Zoran
Milin (unfortunately deceased now), frontman of the
band called "Malo sutra", who helps him a lot in
creating his own style.
In mid 80s, Randja plays with less known bands from
Zemun.
In 1988 he goes to Vis to serve in the YNA and it is
here that faith unites him with the Father of

called "Di Luna Blues Band" and become famous all over
Serbia. Their collaboration lasted full five years
and their friendship is still on.

band " Cutura i oblaci". They record an album " Rekom
Ljubavi".
In 1994, mutually delighted, Milan and Randja meet in
"Central Club" in Valjevo at "Di Luna Blues Band"

with him (concert held at Belgrade's Exhibition Hall 1
