CroatiaDeni Kožić, a Zagreb-based guitarist and songwriter, has passed away at the age of 62. He had a rich musical career playing in several domestic bands including Ritam s ovoga svijeta, Psihomodo Pop, Jura Stublić & Film, Pips, Chips & Videoclips, and Pjer Žardin & Psi od slame. He was remembered by fellow musician Dubravko Ivaniš, who highlighted Kožić’s influence during his time with the band Pips. Kožić began his music career in the mid-1980s and made a lasting impact on Zagreb's rock scene, particularly as a guitarist. He became widely known through a commercial for Jura Stublić and Film's 'Dobre vibracije,' where he appeared with a guitar atop the Ban Jelačić Square. Kožić was also associated with the band Psihomodo Pop, and members of that group recalled him as a longtime friend. He started his first band while still a student and later co-founded Ritam s ovoga svijeta with Vlatko Ćavar Brad and Robert Juric Jura. After the release of their debut album in 1986, Kožić left the band and pursued other musical experiences before eventually focusing on his own songwriting in 2014.
