Dragan Ambrozic

BIO

Born in 1962 in Belgrade, he studied psychology, graduated in Communication science.
He was one of the founders and music editor of the magazine “Ritam” (a guide to popular culture), and from 1991 to 1995 he was the editor-in-chief and publisher of the same magazine that set new standards in understanding popular culture in our region, promoting a contemporary style of writing. He regularly publishes reviews, essays and interviews in the prestigious political weekly “Vreme” (since 1997), as well as on popular web sites, the most famous being B92 (until 2004), Popboks (until 2013), and Nova.rs (since 2020).

Believing that the natural extension of writing about music is organizing concerts of the groups he writes about – especially foreign ones – he first got involved in promotional work. Since 1993, he has had a continuous career as an organizer of primarily foreign concerts in Serbia. Since 2003 he has been editing the Main Stage program of the EXIT festival in Novi Sad, the largest regional music festival.

Since 2005 he has been working as the editor in charge and music editor of the Belgrade Dom omladine. Since the renewal of the Belgrade Jazz Festival in 2005, he has been working under the umbrella of Belgrade Dom omladine as the program manager of this renowned European festival.
