Vlada

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 Youin 2009, featuring some of his biggest heroes such as Take 6, Kirk Whalum, Abraham Laboriel, Paul Jackson Jr., and Vinnie Colaiuta. Vlada has lived in England, Germany as well as in the US (five years in New York and Nashville). In 2012, he moved back to Switzerland to get married to the love of his life and has since become a proud father of two sons. Vlada had been writing new material with his old friend and live band pianist Andreas Hausammann for some years when the two of them decided in early 2019 that it was time to record a selection of new songs. With renowned bass player / producer Marc Ebermann and drummer Matthias Meusel to complete the studio band, Vlada recorded River Flow in an old-school live setting that organically compliments his songwriting and singing approach.
