Danijel Vuletic

Danjel Vuletic was born in Zagabria (Croatia) on the 5th July 1970; his father was a colonel of the military airforce and his mother a director of a creche.

He is an autodidact: he plays the piano and composes his songs with the guitar.

Since his childhood, Vuletic is fascinated by a type of sound that he discovers in several Italian performers which all have one common denominator: the collaboration with Celso Valli. In 1993 Vuletic decides to go to Milan where he spends a few years learning the Italian language and composing his music. Some years later he finally meets Celso Valli and he reserves the possibility to work with him later on; in the meantime he starts working with other producers.

In 2000, after a first approach to music as a peformer, Vuletic chooses to be a composer and meets Laura Pausini. He starts writing some songs for her beginning with “Musica sarà” (from the album “Tra te ed il mare”) and continuing with the successes “E ritorno da te”, “Una storia che vale” (both from Laura Pausini’s “Best of” album), “Resta in ascolto”, “Come se non fosse stato mai amore”, “Il tuo nome in maiuscolo”, “La prospettiva di me”, e “Parlami” (all included in the album “Resta in ascolto” released in 2004, winner of a Latin Grammy Award and an American Grammy Award as the best Pop Latin album).

In 2006 Vuletic measures himself also as a producer and arranger and, again with Laura Pausini, he works on three covers included in the album “Io canto”: “Destinazione paradiso”, “Spaccacuore” and “Il mio canto libero”. That year the album wins the Latin Grammy Award as the best Pop album.

The lucky and prolific collaboration with Laura Pausini continues also in her last album “Primavera in anticipo”, for which Vuletic composes eight new songs: “Primavera in anticipo” (a duet with James Blunt) “Un fatto ovvio”, “Il mio beneficio”, “Nel modo più sincero”, “Più di ieri”, “L’impressione”, “Sorella terra”, “Un giorno dove vivere”.

In the meantime, Danijel Vuletic collaborates with and composes songs for other artists, like Adriano Celentano, Mina, Luciano Pavarotti, Gianni Morandi, Nek and Marco Carta.

In april 2009 he signs an exclusive publishing agreement with Sugar.

“The difference in comparison to other situations in which I found myself – Vuletic states – the meeting with Caterina Caselli and Filippo Sugar made me understand that I found in them two things that today don’t exist anymore elsewhere. A company that seems to me more like a family than a business and the enthusiasm, a word which elsewhere is completely out of use by now. The enthusiam for things that come right from the heard.

With Danijel Vuletic Sugar is enriching further its publishing company. “We are very happy to welcome Danijel in our family of writers; Danijel – Caterina Caselli and Filippo Sugar state – is surely a very talented writer of great sensitivity and we are proud and enthusiastic to start a collaboration that we hope will be full of sadisfaction both in Italy and abroad.
