Zorán Sztevanovity

Zorán Sztevanovity (born 4 March 1942) is a Serbian-Hungarian guitarist, singer and composer living in Hungary.

Life and career Zoran Stevanović was born in Belgrade, Kingdom of Yugoslavia (now Serbia), on 4 March 1942 and moved to Hungary in 1948 with his parents who were on a diplomatic mission, after two years in Prague. In 1960, with his brother Dušan and their friends he founded an amateur band called Zenith, which changed its name to Metro in 1961, when they began to play in the Metró Klub, the club of the underground building company.

Zorán often took part in talent shows and pop festivals in the sixties with his band or solo and won in 1963 with a Gershwin song. Enthused by success, he discontinued his studies at Budapest University of Technology (he read to be an electronic engineer) and became a professional musician. At this time Metro was one of the three most popular beat bands in Hungary with Illés and Omega, the so-called 'beat-trinity'. Metro published two albums and about 40 singles.

After the Metro's breaking up in 1972, Zorán began a solo career. He played bass in the band Taurus XT and spent some years abroad. They have two children, Zoltán and Szandra.
