Vocal fusion from Serbia: Gorica & The Grooveheadz

This Belgrade band consists of a group of young musicians who got together during their studies at the jazz department of the Belgrade Faculty of Music, and their debut album from 2024, Nigde drugo (English: Nowhere else), unites their creative period from 2019 to today. They chose jazz fusion as their musical direction, but in an innovative and original way.

The band was founded by Serbian singer-songwriter and synthesizer player Gorica Šutić, who writes the lyrics and music. The band's keyboardist Stevan Milijanović, as well as drummer Aleksa Milijanović, who is also the producer of their debut album, actively participate in the work on the arrangements. David Gegić plays the bass guitar, and Gagi Hajnrih plays the guitar.

"Wherever we are, we carry our world with us. Our first single, 'Shadows' was inspired by the feeling of distance in the relationship with people who are very close and important to us. "Otkucaj" and "San na javi" are the songs dedicated to the oldest and grand-mothers.

Our first album called Nowhere else was made mostly in a period of the pandemic when we were forced to draw inspiration and motivation from within our four walls. Anyway, we enjoyed the process; from 2019 until now, we have grown and musically matured together. Now we are rounding off that period in the most beautiful way possible," says the band leader Gorica Šutić.
