Among his earliest solo works, "Činim pravu stvar" and "Divji cvit" are widely considered to be one of the most emotional Croatian-language songs of all time.[2][3][4][5]


Career


Born in a family with a strong musical tradition (his father, Ljubo, was a well-known composer and poet), Zlatan Stipišić who later embraced the nickname Gibonni, began his career in the 1980s with the heavy metal band Osmi putnik. After the group disbanded, Stipišić joined Divlje jagode, recording a few demo tapes before disbanding. It was Zele Lipovača, the lead guitarist of Jagode, who gave Stipišić the nickname Gibonni.[6]

Gibonni started his solo career in the 1990s with songs that combined elements of rock, modern pop and Dalmatian folk songs. He soon created a huge following, especially among Croatian youth. Gibonni's popularity continued to grow beyond Croatia and he is currently one of the most popular and influential musicians in the territories of the former Yugoslavia. Gibonni wrote the song "Cesarica" for Oliver Dragojević which became one of Oliver's signature hit songs and one of the most popular and well-known songs in Croatia.

In 2003 Stipišić was appointed a UNICEF Goodwill Ambassador. He is involved in many humanitarian concerts and organizations fighting hunger and poverty. Gibonni released his long-awaited and critically appraised album Unca fibre in May 2006, after a five-year period following his award-winning album Mirakul. In 2010 he released the album Toleranca, and in 2013, he released 20th Century Man, sung entirely in English. This album was used partially as a fundraiser for SOS children's village.[7] In 2016 Gibonni released the album Familija, which was made in collaboration with Oliver Dragojević, featuring 10 tracks. Soon afterwards, Gibonni released his Best of Collection consisting of his most popular songs, including some from his early 90s career.[8]
