Imagine a singer who writes hits for the biggest stars but doesn’t charge a dime for his songs! Yes, you read that right! Beki Bekić, whose real name is Behljulj Behljulji, is a musical genius who decided not to sell his songs but to gift them to his colleagues. While others count money, Beki hands out hits like candy.
From a young age, Beki was tied to music and managed to break through despite tough life circumstances. His songs are sung by legends like Šaban Šaulić, Lepa Brena, and Dragana Mirković. Yes, he is the author of the hit “Better Days Are Coming,” which marked Dragana Mirković’s career!
But it wasn’t all easy. His real name is hard to pronounce, so he chose the stage name Beki Bekić. The story of how he got his surname is hilarious — it all started when his godmother’s wife exclaimed, “Oh, my Bekić has arrived!” and it stuck.
Beki openly talked about his tough childhood, when 20 people lived in one room, and how his parents initially forbade him from pursuing music. But music always won!
While many singers today focus only on profit, Beki proves you can be successful and still be a good person. His philosophy is clear: a song should go to the right singer, and the author’s success is in the song being heard.
If you thought this was just another musician’s story, think again! Beki Bekić is a true example of how music is loved and shared without greed. So, what do you think about this approach? Would you gift your songs or sell them for every last cent? Drop a comment and let’s see who’s the real music humanitarian!
