Star Belgrade is the name under which I perform & record music. It's a shortened version of the Serbian football team name, FC Red Star Belgrade.

They were actually quite a good team at one stage - winning what is now called the Champions League, in the early 90's - before the war in the Balkans, the collapse of Yugoslavia & the transfer of many of their players left them virtually star-less.
