#NVU
DJ
Born and raised in Belgrade, Serbia, he has been releasing reworks of Tina Turner songs on his SoundCloud and YouTube channels.
#NVU has studied music at the Arts University of Belgrade, and later was mentored in mixing by Christian Wicked, a NYC music producer.
He wants to keep the memory of Tina Turner’s art alive by re-imagining her powerful songs, and by featuring her strong and unique voice in new ways. He hopes that other DJs will be encouraged to do the same, and make Tina’s musical legacy eternal.
