He also studied two years of the occupational health university course in Niš, Serbia, but did not graduate.

His parents live in Goražde; his father is a lawyer and his mother works for a telecommunications company.

Laka recorded his first song "Malo sam se razočar'o" (I'm a little bit disappointed) in 1998.

The song turned out to be a major success, and launched his show business career nationally, and then released more songs, among which were "Vještica" (The Witch), "Mor'o" (I had to) and "Piškila" (You've peed yourself), highly increasing his popularity in Bosnia.

In 2004, Laka left for New York City, where he tried to start a band, but returned to Bosnia unsuccessful and a little bit disappointed after two-and-a-half years.
