[1] Mihailović was born on 13 July 1950 in Čačak Serbia, SFR Yugoslavia.

He started playing various stringed instruments at 5 years old, to finally commit to the guitar at the age of 9.

In his early youth, he was a member of a band from Čačak, called Dečaci sa Morave (Boys from Morava).

Mihailović's unique virtuous style of playing is a big part of the band's sound.

He also composed a highly-acclaimed soundtrack for the movie "Byzantine Blue", receiving the Crystal Prysm award.
