Biography

He then moved to Canada in 1988, but eventually settled in the United States, where he did low-paying jobs like working as cab driver.[8] The couple has four sons: Enis, Verdin, Hajrudin and Berat.

Jevrić most famous song is "Kuća posô" (Home, work or From home to work) that parodied the day-to-day lives of ex-Yugoslav immigrants in the western world (especially North America). The song achieved instant success on YouTube, reaching over 16.0 million views (2 million in first month). He recorded his first album, titled Kuća posô in March 2010 He did a photo shoot for Dolce & Gabbana Winter 2011 Collection, positing as an Italian tailor.[3]

At the end of 2010, he took part in the popular Serbian reality show Farma, and ended up third.
