BIOGRAPHY:
Two young guys from Leskovac, Aleksandar Cvetkovic and Marko Nedeljkovic, who are popularly known as Fast and Johnny, are decisively deciding to stick to the capital and try their luck in the sea of opportunities that such a big city as Belgrade it provides … You will recognize, a brave move for two nineteen-year-olds. But as they say in the nation- “Happiness follows the brave!”
The beginning, just like every other one, was difficult, filled with new experiences and misfortunes, but it did not hinder our stories from reaching the goal, but rather encouraged them to fulfill the deck’s dream, which is to win Belgrade clubs and rafts. The rich night life soon charmed these two lovely guys from the inexperience … By their dedicated work and the boy’s sincerity, they quickly infiltrated the Belgrade clubs.
As the volume of work grew, so did the need for a singer, and so our duo soon became a three-member crew. The band comes singer Maria, who with her singing qualities, together with Brzim and Johny, very quickly animates the wider Belgrade audience … The band is working full-time in the next few months and gets engagements in prestigious bg clubs. Shortly afterward, again with the fate of the band, Pesic Predrag, better known as Zuce-taze returnee from the JNA (VJ), is full of elan and desire for work … Žuća svojim playing music and human qualities additionally reflects this joyful team … In this band, Tropico has been playing for a year.
At the end of 2003, the aforementioned singer decided to start a solo career and leave the band and who knows which way she confirms the folk that the women were on board, and in the band blind passengers … A joke to the side, Tropico was in the unbranched grapes, and then the boys decided to make a completely “male story” … In early 2003, as a fourth musketar and reinforcement, guitarist Ignjatic Branislav, better known as Bungee, arrived in Kragujevac’s vocal and instrumental composition “Osvajaci”.
Assisted by a new member and another instrumentalist, Tropico slowly begins to get its own recognizable “shmek” that nourishes it to this day. During the change in 2003, Tropico began to think about publishing and fighting for a part of the extreme sky. In co-operation with a friend and collaborator of the band, multifaceted Gavrić Mirko, Tropico is recording its first single called “Daj mi daj” and acquires its first “studio” experiences. Yeah, then, they dreamed of a real studio and joined the incompatible … I think that the situation is best illustrated by the fact that Fast Song was singing in a mirror cabinet with a blanket over the head … but, in fact, that enthusiasm led them to continue on and drum their way through the unfriendly show business areas.
Encouraged by your products, i.e. With the song “Give Me Give”, the band begins seriously thinking about the debut album in the following period (which lasted for two years), directing all its energy to achieving this goal … Of course, this path was much more thorny and unpredictable than it was Heroes of this story thought …
As the volume and seriousness of the work grew, so the long-standing desire for the formation of a real gang grew … Namely, for years, the so-called. the rhythm of the machine completely extinguished the live drum out of use, and you will recognize that the band without a drum as a bird without wings … Then, at the beginning of 2006, the band rhythm sections from a small town in the south of Serbia-Vlasotince, in the shape and part of Aleksandar Ilic, known to the wider public by the nickname Prka … With the arrival of a new member and, of course, another living instrument, Tropico finally gets its current identity. 
Their music is positive. They have good songs. My favorite songs from this group are If You Are To Me, Leave The Rhythm, Just Go And Many More.
