Raised in Switzerland to a Serbian family, Vlada was fascinated with all things groove from an early age. Soulful black sounds from the likes of Stevie Wonder, James Brown, Aretha Franklin, and Nat King Cole made him move inside and out. They made him sing, too, and so it doesn’t come as much of a surprise that Vlada got seriously involved with the contemporary gospel music scene in his early twenties. He started writing and performing his own songs as well, which led to his acclaimed debut album All About You in 2010, featuring some of his biggest heroes such as Take 6, Kirk Whalum, Abraham Laboriel, Paul Jackson Jr., and Vinnie Colaiuta.
