He was born in Split in 1961 and spent his childhood in an old part of the town, called Varoš.
He is known to the general public for memorable roles in episodes on Croatian Radiotelevision (HRT) and later in episodes of the music-entertainment show Nad lipom 35 on Nova TV, which was his last role, roles in various commercials, and before that as a drummer from the Zadar band Forum. In his music career, he stands out for the popular song "Pumpaj", released on his 1998 album Rješenje za dobro raspoloženje (English: Solution for Good Mood).
