Rade Vučković shares origins of hit song and personal history

Composer Rade Vučković has shared details regarding the origins of his famous hit, ‘S namerom dođoh u veliki grad’, and his early life in Belgrade. He revealed that he originally moved to the city to study and play guitar, but after being misled by a manager, he began singing in bars, starting at ‘Topčiderska noć’.

Vučković described a period of hardship living in the Slavija district, where he lived on a minimal diet of yogurt and sausages while using his father's remaining money. Despite these early struggles, he eventually performed in prestigious venues and socialized with notable figures such as Petar Kralj and Bata Živojinović.

Reflecting on his personal life, the composer discussed his relationships and children, including his daughter Jelena Vučković, whom he shares with Goca Božinovska. He noted that while he had several significant long-term relationships, he never married.
