Music career
editIn mid 1988, Giuliano, along with Siniša Vuco, formed the rock band Kleopatra.[1] The band released three singles "Odlazim", "Hladna noć", and "Svi u jedan glas".[2] The band broke up in late 1989.[1] After the break up of Kleopatra, Đanić, along with Zlatko Brodarić, formed the band Apokalipsa.[3] The band's debut album Ljubav za ljubav, bol za bol was released in 1991.[4]
Giuliano has participated seven times in HRT Dora, Croatia's annual music competition and national selection for the Eurovision Song Contest.[5] He made his debut in 1996 performing "Sjaj u očima otkriva te", which finished fifth with 104 points.[6] He returned to the contest again in 1999 with "Dobro mi došla ljubavi" finishing sixth.[7] A year later in 2000, Đanić participated with the song "Srna i vuk" and finished third in the final with a total of 160 points.[8] Đanić participated in Dora 2003, performing "Moja lipa", written and composed by Tomislav Mrduljaš.[9] He reached the final from the second semifinal on 8 March 2003 and finished seventh in the final with 60 points.[9] After taking a four-year break from the contest, Đanić returned to the 2007 edition with the song "Pismom te ljubi milijun mandolina" and placed fifth.[10] A year later, in 2008, he finished eleventh with the song "Plava vještica" written by Miro Buljan and Nenad Ninčević.[11] The 2010 edition of the contest was the last one with Đanić as a participant.[12] With the song "Moja draga" he qualified from the semi-final on 5 March 2010 to the final the next day, where he placed eighth with 18 points.[13]
His best-known songs include "Lipoto moja", "Ćutin se lipo", "Gori more", "Zovem prijatelje moje", "Veći od ljubavi" and the Porin-winning hit "Jugo", all renowned for their emotional intensity and firm tenor delivery.[14][15][16][17]
In 2022 he collaborated with ZETZ, Pero Galić, Mario Roth, Ivan Penezić and Igor Delač on a number-one charting single "Idemo Hrvatska" which spent 4 weeks at a number-one position of the official Croatian airplay chart HR Top 40.[18]
