Growing up exposed to different genres of music in a family of a professional musician, young Ostojić took up acoustic bass and bass guitar simultaneously to his elementary and later secondary (gymnasium) education. Furthermore, with his father taking side jobs performing at various Yugoslav pop/schlager music festivals, such as and , the youngster would often be brought along and got to soak in the scene and atmosphere among professional musicians.
Career Rock music In 1980, Ostojić and his friend Dado Džihan formed a rock band with a spiritual touch called Nirvana, later changed to Cyclone. A few years later, both of them joined garage rock band Zabranjeno Pušenje.
