Jelusick is a Croatian rock band fronted by Dino Jelusić, a vocalist, multi-instrumentalist and songwriter who has been active on the music scene since his early childhood. The band emerged as a new chapter in his artistic career, developing a powerful rock sound rooted in hard rock and heavy metal while incorporating progressive elements. Alongside Jelusić, the lineup features guitarist Ivan Keller, bassist Luka Brodarić and drummer Mario Lepoglavec. Together, they create a distinctive sound built around powerful guitars, a dynamic rhythm section and Jelusić’s expressive vocals.
Dino Jelusić first attracted international attention as a child when he represented Croatia at the inaugural Junior Eurovision Song Contest in 2003 and won the competition. He later turned toward rock music, becoming the frontman of Animal Drive, with whom he released the album “Bite!”. Following that period, he continued developing his own artistic direction and formed a new lineup under the name Jelusick.
The band released its debut album, “Follow the Blind Man”, in 2023. The record combines the foundations of classic hard rock with a contemporary approach, featuring powerful riffs, dynamic song structures and expressive vocal performances. The material has also been brought to audiences through live performances, where the band’s energy and musicianship have become an important part of its identity.
A significant part of Dino Jelusić’s career has been his international work. As a vocalist and musician, he has collaborated with prominent names from the rock and metal world, and in 2021 he became a member of the legendary American band Whitesnake. This opportunity allowed him to perform on major international stages and further establish his reputation beyond Croatia.
Today, Jelusick represents one of Croatia’s ambitious rock projects with an international outlook. The band combines the experience of its members with a strong artistic vision and contemporary production while remaining rooted in the energy and tradition of rock music. Their work is characterised by powerful live performances, instrumental virtuosity and a clear ambition to connect the Croatian and regional music scene with the international rock market.
