Baja Mali Knindža: Difference between revisions

While Baja's debut album was released in 1992, his start in the music industry would be in 1985 at Jugodisk primarily as a lyricist often credited as "M. Pajćin Baja". His first songwriting credit would be on the Borislav Ličanin song "Oko mene lepe žene" from the album of the same name. He would also write the song "Jasna je meni donijela sreću" for the 1986 album ''A oj Liko zavičajna sliko'' and "Kad se slože ravnice i brda" for the 1987 album of the same name. The 1990 album, ''Sve što imam, to mi je u lici'' would be the first album to feature the song "Nemoj me lagati, mila", predating its appearance in ''[[Rat i mir]]'' by three years. In 1989, Baja would contribute to one of Tromeđe's biggest hits, "Nema raja" as he was the primary lyricist for Tromeđa's ''Pjesme Dalmacije, Like i Krajine''. The song has since been covered by artists such as Bora Drljača, Minđušari, and Žare i Goci. He would contribute to the title track of the 1991 Milivoje Đurišić album ''Crnogorsko Srce'' before releasing his debut album.

In 1993, Baja wrote songs for artists in PGP RTS, the label that, two years prior, refused to publish his debut album. He would write the song "Rastanak" with the music being composed and sang by Rođa Raičević in ''Tako Je Suđeno''. It would also be covered by Cakana in the same year, although Baja would not be credited. He would also write the lyrics for "Đetić bez mane" for the 1993 Miloje Bubanja album, ''Život teče dalje''. He would also write and compose "Čujem da me tražiš" and "Dosta je bilo lutanja" for Jane Kačar's "Smiluj se, bože", published by Produkcija "Južni Vetar". While at Nina Trejd, he would compose and produce Goran Krajišnik's debut album, ''Koridor slobode'' as well as contribute an early version of "Dražo" (titled "Ustani čiča Dražo") to the Boro Srbin album ''Ja sam Srbin''. At SuperTon, he wrote the song "Prvi put" for Azbuja ljubavi by Nina Nikolić. Baja would also compose for Boban Zemunac's debut album, Ne daj se Srbijo moja and would feature an early version of "Neće biti granica na Drini". Its title track would use the tune of "Nemoj me lagati mila" and some elements in the instrumentals throughout the album would appear in later Baja albums albeit slightly altered.
