Voja Aralica on SoundBetter

I've produced over a hundred albums, and worked on too many films to count, which I deeply love and respect. But, now it's time for adventure. I need a new challenge, new people, new sounds. Try it!

One of the most successful music producers in Eastern Europe with 40+ years of experience in various aspects of music production, performance, and composition. As a producer, arranger, composer, and performer, I contributed to numerous film scores, musicals, and TV advertisements, including music for the world-renowned film director Emir Kusturica, two time Palme d'Or winner. I've collaborated with some of the greatest artists from the ex-Yugoslav region. I've worked in Real World Studios, Abbey Road, Studio de la Grande Armée, Metalworks Studios, NRG, Metropolis, and Strongroom.

I'm looking forward to hearing about your project.
