PETAR (PERA) KRSTAJIC - Electric and double bass
Studied at Music School "Stankovic". Now a student of Berklee College of music.
Youngest bass player in Serbia.
I SHOULD GAIN SOME WEIGHT. CHASING CHRISTIAN MC BRIDE.
GOTTA LOVE BOTH - ELECTRIC AND DOUBLE BASS!
So, I’m that youngest cat in the band. I suppose that is why they call me kid.
Sometimes they say I’m killin’ but I know that talent without hard work means
nothing. When I was growing up I actually wanted to be a professional tennis
player so I trained hard for many years and had dreams of a big future. One day
Novak Djokovic showed up at my tennis school and I played a couple of games
with him. That was the day when I decided I should definitely do something else
with my life!
After that, it didn’t take me long to realize that I want to dedicate my whole life to
music. Now I feel incredibly lucky that, after just four years of playing music, I’m
a part of a band that plays original compositions with elements of all music styles
that I love so much: jazz, funk, gospel, hip hop, latin…..On top of that, this band
gives me an opportunity and liberty to play both electric and double bass
(amazingly enough, the guys actually prefer the double bass)!
