Life and career

1989–2014: Early life and career beginnings

Amar Hodžić was born on 22 September 1989 in Sarajevo, SR Bosnia and Herzegovina, SFR Yugoslavia. According to him, he initially showed interest for music as a teenager and released his first song in 2004 alongside his childhood friend as the Corelli duo.\n

Corelli was introduced to Jala Brat, with whom he started collaborating on their EP titled Sin City, released in March 2013. Their collaborative studio album Pakt s Đavolom (lit. 'Deal with the Devil') was released in December the following year.\n

2015–present: Mainstream success and legal issues

In June 2015, Corelli was arrested on suspicion of drug issues and sentenced to prison until May 2016. However, in December, previously-recorded single – \"Habibi\" by Serbian singer Rasta – was released featuring Corelli. The song went viral, counting more than forty million views on YouTube, leading to Corelli's first mainstream success. In June 2016, he was hit on the back of the head with a glass bottle while performing in a Doboj night-club.\n

In April 2018, Corelli and Jala Brat released a promotional single titled \"Mafia\". Corelli released his solo single \"Balenciaga\" in May and another collaborative single titled \"Ona'e\" (lit. 'She's') in June, the latter with Serbian artist Coby. These songs were parts of the campaign for their first concert in Belgrade on 23 June at Tašmajdan stadium in front of 15,000 people.\n

In July 2018, Corelli and Rasta colleborated with Maya Berović, this time for her 7 album. In December, they released a single titled \"Benga po snijegu\" (lit. 'Beemer in the Snow'), featuring Rasta. The duo released three more singles: \"Mila\" (lit. 'Dear'), \"Bebi\" (lit. 'Baby') and \"Kamikaza\" (lit. 'Kamikaze'), latter featuring Slovenian singer Senidah in January, April, and August respectively. They also performed at Skenderija in Sarajevo on 9 August and in the Belgrade Arena with Serbian pop-folk singer Aca Lukas on the New Year's Eve. Corelli was also featured in two tracks from Jala Brat's album 99 in September. However, the same month, he was sentenced to one year in prison for illegal drug production and trafficking.\n
