Resume...Dado DZIHAN: Composer / Sound Designer / Producer / Songwriter / Pianist / Rhodes / Hammond / Synths / Guitar / Vocals / Clarinet / Bass / Drums ...Born in Sarajevo, Bosnia and Herzegovina, ex Yugoslavia.
He was a founder member of the New Primitivism, an art movement of Sarajevo of the early eighties, launched on the famous radio show “Primus”. This movement had a dramatic influence on the art, music and fashion scene, while actively challenging the political status quo of the day.
The programme’s popular blend of satire and music brought continued opposition from the Authorities, but its popularity was such that it was able to progress into a TV broadcast, the highly acclaimed humorous sketch and music show “Top-lista Nadrealista” (“The Surrealist Top List”). Many of the items they wrote proved to have an acute critical perception of the
state the country was in and the developments which would eventually give rise to the war in former Yugoslavia and Bosnia.
During this period Dado DZIHAN also performed as a keyboard player with the rock band Zabranjeno Pusenje ( No Smoking Orchestra), which despite run-ins with the authorities and censors, was able to release five albums, two of which went gold.
He closely collaborated with the distinguished film director, Emir Kusturica (two times Winner of the Cannes Golden Palm).
Since moving to London in 1991, Dado DZIHAN has combined composing / producing music with
frequent live performances. He has been involved in numerous music projects, working across the spectrum, from free improvisation to fully scored music for films and television. His eclectic compositional style seamlessly blends ethnic elements with jazz, classics and contemporary works.
As an energetic and accomplished composer, pianist, and producer, he is in demand and has worked with such diverse musicians as David Gilmour, Dave Stewart, Chris Jagger...directors; Anthony Minghella, Gerald Fox, Benjamin Filipovic, Michael Winterbottom...
Plays in the band "B Choyek" www.myspace.com/bchoyek together with bassist and poet James St. Louis.
Throughout this period, as Dado Jehan, he has demonstrated his acting talent and managed to squeeze several films into his work portfolio, as well as numerous TV appearances in TV dramas and shows. www.imdb.com/name/nm0420448/
He also works as a sound designer, fx editor and foley artist.
