Both Divljan and Kolar attended guitar course at the RU "Braća Stamenković" held by professor Branko Perišić who later appeared in the "Sve laži sveta" video.

The positive critics opened many doors to Idoli including an opportunity to sign a contract with Jugoton a major Yugoslav record label.

By the time Maljčiki single came out Idoli were already working on the Paket aranžman (Package Deal), a various artists compilation which proved to be one of the most influential Yugoslav rock releases.

Foreign magazines also released positive critics and in 1985 "Džuboks" pronounced Odbrana i poslednji dani the best Yugoslav rock record of the 20th century.

He wrote Radostan dan", "Vetar i zastave" and "Ja sam tu" (for which Divljan added a verse from Mišo Kovač track "Plakat će zora" written by Drago Britvić).

The entire soundtrack was written by Divljan (he considers this album his first solo release), while the rest of the band plus some guests recorded their parts.

[5] When Idoli disbanded, Divljan had an idea of forming a band Hondini Sinovi (Honda's Sons) featuring Branko Isaković on bass, Ivan Stančić Piko on drums and Dragomir Mihajlović "Gagi" on guitar, but decided to pursue a solo career.

The album brought a variety of musical styles, instrumentals "1986" and "1987", minimalistic swing "Neću ništa da znam" ("I Don't Want To Know Anything"), ballad "Više nisam tu" ("I Am Not Here Anymore") and sampled hit "Patuljci" ("Gnomes").

The tour for Tajni život A. P. Šandorova featured Zdenko Kolar on bass, Aleksandar Šandorov on keyboards and Marko Milivojević on drums.

During 1990 Divljan, Piko Stančić, Gile and Zoran Radomirović Švaba released the album Lutka koja kaže ne (A Doll Who Says No) featuring lyrics by Divljan and Gile and a cover version of Đorđe Marjanović's song "Lutka koja kaže ne" (originally composed by French singer Michel Polnareff and it was his debut song "La Poupée qui fait non").

The track "Vi ž'tem mon amur", dedicated to Serge Gainsbourg and his hit "Je t'aime... moi non-plus", featured samples of the recordings by Black Sabbath, Time, intro by Žika Jelić, YU grupa bassist, for "Kosovski božuri" recorded live at BOOM pop festival and the voice of Milena Dravić taken from her aerobics tape.

A cover version of the song "Srećan ti rođendan" ("Happy Birthday"), which Divljan wrote for Slađana Milošević, also appeared on the album.

In the Summer of 1991 Divljan helped Srđan Gojković Gile on his second solo project which is actually the "Crni bombarder" ("The Black Bomber") soundtrack album.

[8] During a short visit to Serbia in late 1995 / early 1996, he formed the Old Stars Band with Aleksandar Šandorov (keyboards), Zdenko Kolar (bass), Srđan Gojković Gile (guitar, vocals), Marko Milivojević (drums) and Boris Bunjac (percussion).

In January 1997 back in Australia Divljan worked on a project with Leb i Sol keyboardist Kiril Džajkovski titled "Apartchiks".

The first CD titled Dekada (Decade), released by Avant Garde Records, features four tracks with sampled speeches by Slobodan Milošević.

The soundtrack also featured "Dekada" ("Decade") by Apartchiks, "Mačo" ("Macho") by Presing and "Duboko disanje" ("Deep Breaths") by URGH!.

The CD also included a multimedia biographies of musicians, recordings of live performances and sections from the documentaries for which Divljan wrote the soundtrack.

He also participated on the Milan Mladenović tribute album Kao da je bilo nekad with the cover of "Radostan dan" ("Joyful Day").

He appeared as guest on Kiril Džajkovski's soundtrack for Balcancan (released in 2005 by Lithium Records) on the track "Baba zumbula" which became a hit in the Republic of Macedonia.

[11] In 2008 he recorded the soundtrack for the films Na lepom plavom Dunavu ("On The Beautiful Blue Danube"), Kosovski dnevnik by Željko Mirković and worked on the Miroslav Momčilović's movie Čekaj me, ja sigurno neću doći (Wait for Me and I Will Not Come).

In January 2015 he was admitted to hospital with an inflammation of the peritoneum but he stated that everything was alright and that he felt "very well"; he even used the opportunity to announce a new single "Neposlušna građanka" ("Disobedient citizen") and a new live album.
