Dražen "Žera" Žerić (born 20 July 1964) is a Bosnian and Yugoslav musician currently based in Croatia, best known as the vocalist for the popular pop rock band Crvena Jabuka.

[6] During the siege of Sarajevo, Žerić held a number of humanitarian concerts along with singers Kemal Monteno, Mladen Vojičić Tifa and Zlatan Fazlić "Fazla".

[5] In 1999, Žerić appeared on the renewed Vaš šlager sezone (Your Schlager of the Season) festival in Sarajevo, performing the song "Proveo bih život ispod mostova" ("I Would Spend My Life Under Bridges"), written by Zlatan Fazlić.

In 2004, he made a guest appearance in the song "Ljubav ne postoji (rođaci moji)" ("Love Doesn't Exist (My Cousins)"), released by Croatian pop Leteći Odred on their album Razglednice (Postcards).

[7] In 2011, with Serbian folk singer Indira Radić he recorded the duet "Istok, sever, jug i zapad" ("East, North, South and West"), released on her album of the same title.

[7] In 2013, he recorded the duet "Svaki dan je put" ("Every Day Is a Journey") with Croatian pop singer Antonija Šola, released on her album Nezgodna (Inconvenient One).

[7] In 2015, he recorded the duet "Ti budi tu" ("Be There") with Croatian pop singer Paula Jusić, released on her album Dvije izgubljene duše (Two Lost Souls).

[11][12] In November 2017, Žerić was called in by a Municipal Court in Zagreb to provide testimony in the libel lawsuit that Nikša Bratoš, president of the government-funded Croatian Music Union (HGU), filed against Croatia Records CEO Želimir Babogredac over Babogredac's June 2015 interview claims in Slobodna Dalmacija,[13] accusing Bratoš and his HGU team of malfeasance and blackmail in collusion with Croatia's state-run broadcaster Croatian Radiotelevision (HRT).

[14] In his testimony, Žerić talked of his application with the HGU being rejected with an explanation that "his work has not achieved sufficient recognition", all of which made him feel "humiliated".
