    Miljenko is not only a great singer & musical artist he also comes across as a sincere & humble man. I hope Croatia recognises their son & give him the reception & accolades he deserves because his singing range & power is insane.

    Love he didn't change his name like a lot of the rock singers do.

    It’s pure talent 💯 Awesome vocals, piano, other instruments & the powerful writing which resonates.
    P.S. Your longer hair is still part of you. Also feel free to come down a few octaves to accommodate your present•day vocal range.

    So happy you interviewed him !!! I am a big fan and have been following his career for years. But also I have a similar story myself and can very much relate to Miljenko 's life experiences. I was born in Vukovar and brought to US at age 7 around the same time period as him and have been a professional rock singer regionally and of course on a much, much smaller scale of success in the music industry. Great job on the interview!!! He is amazing! Thank you so much.

    Best singer out there! I can't think of any singers from back in the 80s or early 90s who can still sing like they did then, but this guy can still belt it the same and he can do it live without singing to a tract. So much talent. Id say its really hard to keep your voice in great shape when you sing notes like he does for 30 plus years and still sound phenomenal

      Milijenko is absolutely phenomenal without a doubt. There is another singer who I believe can do the same. His name is Geoff Tate from queensryche. In my opinion Geoff and Mili are the top two singers of all time. I'm so happy for him to have the continued success, he has put in the work, so he deserves it.

    it's wild to me that he has basically 0 work outside of steelheart. Never featured on anything (except the rockstar movie), no side projects, no other releases, no nothing. Kind of a shame there isn't more of him

    When I saw rockstar, I instantly knew the voice DEFINITELY wasn’t Wahlberg’s. He was never anywhere near Millie’s level.
