About the Author

Vlada Veselinovic has shown a deep passion for the accordion since his earliest childhood. He began his musical education at the ‘Vladimir Đorđević’ Music School, where he completed his studies in accordion. Following his formal education, Vlada dedicated himself to extensive research and improvement, ultimately developing a unique interpretation style that made him a recognizable figure in the music scene. Over the years, he has built a reputation as a prominent figure in the accordion community, contributing not only as a performer and composer but also as an educator.


In 2009, Vlada founded MuzikaHarmonike.com, a large online community for accordionists and accordion enthusiasts, which brings together musicians from all over the world.


Recognizing the lack of literature on folk music, in 2011 Vlada began publishing sheet music collections and instructional books. His book ‘Škola narodne muzike za harmoniku’ (2014) gained wide popularity among musicians globally, with an English version released in 2019. To date, he has published over 20 printed books and numerous PDF collections. His works are recognized for their precise sheet music, detailed analyses, and dedication to preserving traditional folk music, making them an essential resource for musicians who wish to interpret Balkan folk melodies. Accordionists highly value his work for its accurate transcriptions, detailed ornamentation, and technical advice, which help musicians master complex folk styles. Over time, these educational materials have become part of global resources on accordion playing.


As a lecturer, he has held masterclasses and professional seminars, further sharing his expertise and passion for the accordion.


In addition to his educational work, Vlada focuses on composing in his music studio ‘Maestro.’ His compositions blend traditional Balkan rhythms with modern arrangements, bringing a refreshing touch to the world of folk music. He has released albums of his original compositions, ‘Balkan na moj način’ and ‘Nova kola.’ He also successfully performs a wide variety of world music styles, as shown in his album ‘With Accordion Around the World.’


Thanks to his dedication, Vlada Veselinovic is recognized worldwide. His work has been featured in American publications such as ‘Accordion Stars’ and ‘Stars Illustrated,’ and he was included in the 2019 edition of the ‘Accordion and World’s Best Contemporary Accordionists’ encyclopedia, recognized as one of the top accordionists of today. He is a recipient of prestigious awards, including the ‘Music Life Achievement Award’ (New York, 2020), and is a member of the ‘Accordion World Hall of Fame.’
