Momčilo Zeković

Momčilo Zeković, known to everyone as Zeko, is a Montenegrin songwriter, singer, composer and writer, and the bass player of the pop-rock band Perper from Cetinje. He was born in 1967. Montenegrin media describe him as a singer-songwriter, and alongside the band he has written songs for other performers.

Perper was formed in Cetinje in December 1991, and Zeko has played bass on its records since the first album, Sa gomile velikih oblaka (1992). The band is fronted by singer Nikola Radunović, and its later albums include Bludni snovi (1993), the live Perper uživo iz CNP-a (2000), Iz dana u dan (2002) and Tragovi (2008). At the Montefon awards in 2002 Perper were named group of the year and Zeko songwriter of the year.

His songs have also gone to Eurovision. Together with Adis Eminić and Iva Boršić he wrote "Space", the song with which Slavko Kalezić represented Montenegro at the Eurovision Song Contest 2017 in Kyiv.

To mark thirty years of work he released the CD Džep sa tajnama (A pocket of secrets), with eighteen of his own songs, some of them new and some older songs of his given to singers he admires. The album took two years to make, and its videos feature guests such as Karolina Gočeva, Zoran Predin, Neno Belan and Perper's singer Nikola Radunović.

As a solo artist he has kept releasing songs under the name Zeko. In December 2020 he published "Da znaš da me više nema", for which he wrote the words and music and sang himself, and in February 2021 "Od Božića do Božića", recorded with Sevdah Kvartet and filmed at Ivanova korita.
