Born in Bihac, Bosnia and Herzegovina and now residing in Chicago. Daddo first began playing guitar at the age of six, taking classical guitar and piano lessons.

His firm background in classical music and Eastern European/Balkan folk music provided a solid foundation for his further development in contemporary music. Daddo got his first electric guitar at the age of 12, which opened the doors for him towards improvisation, contemporary music styles and more fashionable songwriting expression and performance. In 1998, Daddo got his first computer and began showing interest for the sound recording and production. His life changed perpetually when he moved to Boston in January 2001.

Daddo attended Berklee College of Music as a Guitar Performance Major. In four years of modern music training, Daddo gained a music degree and a fresh new perspective and outlook in music universe, learning the craft of guitar performance, arranging, music technology and composition.

Daddo graduated from Berklee in August 2004 with a degree in Guitar Performance.

He ranked in the top 5% of guitarists at the college. He is a recipient of Harris Stanton Award for klix musicianship at Berklee, by nomination of his teacher “shred-guitar virtuoso” Joe Stump. The other artists/teachers at Berklee who contributed to Daddo’s musical orientation were David Fiuczynski, Mark White, and Don Lappin.

"He's been my top student for quite awhile now and also one of the strongest Rock/Metal players I've worked with during my ten year period on the Berklee guitar faculty."

Leviathan recording artist/Berklee Guitar Faculty

"Daddo shown himself to be an excellent guitarist, musician and student.He displays an excellent contemporary guitar technique, and is developing an improvisational pallet rich in elements from his native Bosnian background".

-Mark White-
Berklee College of Music guitar faculty

"Daddo's understanding of music is ample. His firm background in classical music provides him with a clear technical advantage over many guitarists.His technique is near-flawlessl; his fingers move with enormous ease, thus enabling the musical ideas that flaw in his head to be translated note by note".

Imati elektricnu gitaru, kopiju nekog Ibenza ili Straokastera je bilo, sci-fi, a imati jos struje da ta ista gitara zasvira na pojacalu - rijetka, rijetka radost. Ovaj je momak zivjeo gitaru. Znao je praksati se na elektricnoj gitari satima, a struje nema. Znao je odsvirati klasiku - da ti pamet stane. Svirao u bendu Staklena menadzerija, tj. bio cijeli bend. Prije nekoliko slucanoj tragajuci za snimkom kakvim njegovih ruku djelo - naletim na ovaj isjecak:
