Early life

Born in Sarajevo, SR Bosnia and Herzegovina, SFR Yugoslavia to a classical violinist father, Kamenko Ostojić, and architect mother, Laura, who worked in the wood industry, Ostojić was raised in the neighbourhood of Mejtaš with a younger brother, Dejan.

Growing up in a family with a professional musician and constantly exposed to music, simultaneous to his elementary and secondary (gymnasium) education, young Ostojić took up acoustic bass and bass guitar. Furthermore, with his father performing at different Yugoslav music festivals, such as Opatija [hr] and Beogradsko proleće [sr], the youngster would often be brought along.

Career

In 1980, Ostojić and his friend Dado Džihan formed a rock band with a spiritual touch called Nirvana, later changed to Cyclone. A few years later, both of them joined garage rock band Zabranjeno Pušenje.

Ostojić joined Zabranjeno Pušenje in 1987. He performed on their two studio albums in the 1980s; Pozdrav iz zemlje Safari (1987) and Male priče o velikoj ljubavi (1989). In 1990, he parted ways with the band together with other members.

In 1988, Ostojić made his acting debut in the TV Sarajevo family television series Tragom ptice dodo directed by Timothy John Byford. The following year, he joined Top lista nadrealista ahead of the show's second series.
