They began their career under the name "High Jinx" coming from a concert in a Zagreb nightclub Saloon.

[1] The members of Jinx are guitarist Coco Mosquito, vocalist Jadranka Bastajić Yaya, drummer Berko Muratović, keyboardist Mr. Goody, trumpet player Igor Pavlica and bassist Adam Matijašević.

The prefix "High" was dropped in 1995,[1] since all fans who attended their first gigs referred to them solely as Jinx.

However, during serving the mandatory military service in 1996, Mosquito started writing first songs in Croatian.

[1] Jinx disbanded in 2002 and made a comeback in 2007 with the album Na zapadu (In the West), having signed with Dallas Records.
