Vedran Ru\u017ei\u0107 was born on 26th<\/sup> of August 1986 in Rijeka. Since the earliest age, he shows tendency to painting, but during high school education he takes up on different kind of art \u2013 music. Ru\u017ei\u0107 starts to play the bass guitar and is generally self-taught, only formal education being attendance of K\u00e4rtner Landeskonservatorium in Klagenfurt during 2009.<\/p>\n

During that period he starts to play the double bass and only three years later, in 2012, Ru\u017ei\u0107 is awarded with Status for the best jazz bass and double bass player.

After several years of playing in different projects, Ru\u017ei\u0107 enters the new era in his musical story by publishing his first album, Night Speaking, in 2015. \u00a0His work inspires him and takes him on some new, yet undiscovered paths, so in 2016 he creates a new project, Spiritual Market, in which he combines jazz music and art movie. In that movie he had a role both as an actor and a co-writer.<\/p>\n

Quality of the album is recognized by the profession so Ru\u017ei\u0107 gets nominated for Porin in two categories \u2013 the best jazz composition and the best jazz album, taking home the award for the best jazz album. With goal to combine different kinds of art with music on each project, in 2019 he publishes his third album, Libertin, where he combines music and contemporary dance.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div>

In 2013 he enters Academy of Applied Arts in Rijeka, course painting, and finishes studies in 2018 with final paper on the subject 'Combining Music and Painting'. Painting music through abstract form is the direction in which Ru\u017ei\u0107's painting is developing.<\/p>\n
