Martin Jovanovic started playing drums at the age of ten: "My parents bought me a small Dixon kit. Today I really regret that I sold this kit when I was fourteen years old. I started to play in a marching band when I was twelve, but quit after two years because I didn't like it that much."

At the age of eightteen Martin Jovanovic joined his first metal band. They played a couple of gigs, but nothing serious was happening. He wanted to move forward, joined two other bands and was constantly rehearsing to become a better player.



At the age of 22 things took off for Martin Jovanovic as he joined the Austrian black/death metal band Belphegor as a session drummer. Martin: "I've played tours in the States, Canada, South and Middle America, Russia and Europe with them."
