Dalibor Grubačević (Croatian pronunciation: [ˈdalibo:r gruba:t͡ʃevit͡ɕ]; born January 9, 1975) is a Croatian composer, musician and record producer renowned for his works in the field of film music.

Biography[edit]

Dalibor Grubačević was born in Koprivnica (modern-day Croatia), where he grew up and completed his early education. Already as a young boy, he presented an exceptional musical talent and at the age of six he started learning to play guitar and piano. Later on, as a member of the local cultural and artistic society 'Koprivnica', he also learned to play the tamburica. In the 1990s he became increasingly attracted to rock 'n' roll and inspired by The Beatles he became a member of the pop-rock band 'The Bugs'. He then continued his musical education and journey of musical discovery by studying classical music forms and works of composers of classical music, attending private lessons with prof. Natalija Imbrišak and Maestro Miljenko Prohaska.[1][2] In 1993, he began studying Social Work at the Faculty of Law in Zagreb, however two years later he interrupted his studies in order to fully dedicate himself to music.

To date, he collaborated with many prominent Croatian directors, such as Branko Ištvančić (The Ghost in the Swamp, The Bridge at the End of the World), Andrej Korovljev (Hotel Pula), Miro Branković (In Search of Marko Polo), Nenad Puhovski (Together), Dominik Sedlar (The Conversation) and others, for whose films he composed music. Whilst composing film music, Grubačević very successfully combines a variety of musical genres and classical orchestration with electronic sounds and instruments.[1]

In addition to scores and soundtracks for feature films and documentaries, as well as various advertising films, Grubačević as a musician is equally successful in the fields of pop, rock and ethno music. Apart from in Croatia, his compositions and musical arrangements have been performed in Macedonia, Montenegro, Canada, America, Japan, England, Italy, Israel and Georgia. He has worked and collaborated with many Croatian and foreign composers, musicians and music producers, for example, Eric Ewazen, Alan Holley, Zagreb Soloists,[3] Zagreb Philharmonic Orchestra,[4] Simply Brass Quintet,[5][6] Miroslav Evačić[7] and Zoran Džorlev[8] as well as with singers Toše Proeski,[9] Sasa Lozar, Aleksandar Mitevski,[10][11] Daniel Kajmakoski,[12] and pop-rock band Pavel.[13]

Dalibor Grubačević is a member of the Croatian Composers' Society and the Croatian Freelance Artists Association.[2]
