Thank you Nikola for being part of a very special day for us. Thank you for your professionalism and talent. We really enjoyed your style for start of our event.
Nikola is an all-around professional from his demeanor to his skill level as a guitarist. Nikola was quick to respond to messages, arrived early to the venue, and provided lovely background music for our event. I highly recommend hiring Nikola for your next event.
Im very grateful that I was able to find nikola for my event. He played beautifully. All the guests expressed how much they enjoyed the music.
Thank you Nikola.
Nikola with his trio group provided an astounding and comprehensive array of music for guests at our summer party. We are unable to recommend his trio highly enough.
This is a team of performers who have played together for many years. Yes, they are capable of (and willing to) supply quiet background music which is pleasing and great for those purposes. But they also will play wonderful compositions of their own, fantastic renditions of just about any 'cover', and then also spin off improvisions of their on. On the fly. By request. 'Whistle a few lines.' etc.
Example: I asked Nikola if he could play some Stevie Ray Vaughan. He looked up for a second and said 'Yes, but we have not practiced it as a group.' After saying go for it, he started one of Vaughan's pieces. Then a minute of so after, the bass kicked in perfectly. Then the piano. Within another few minutes each player was performing their own solos of the tune. Magic.
It was a fun, energetic, engaging and very talented gig. Thumbs up, absolutely!
Response from Nikola Stajic Solo Acoustic Guitar:
Thank you very much for your kind words, Martin. The band and I had a great time performing for your guests and you.
I had the pleasure to have Nikola perform at my event and it was outstanding. I recommend him to anyone looking for an excellent guitarist. 100% satisfied.
Wow, who is this guy!! I’m surprised I saw him play at a wedding and not the Hollywood Bowl. Such a talented young man, he can play for any event of mine he wants to :)
Easy to work with, on point communication, excellent songs choice, highly recommended !
We had Nikola for our wedding ceremony and he made it special. His arrangement of Ed Sheeran’s song Perfect was absolutely incredible!
Nikola was absolutely amazing! He did cocktail hour at our party and absolutely brought the best vibes with him!
Musically he very broad and we enjoyed the song choices!
This was the first time our company hired Nikola, and all the guests were blown away by his musicality. Looking forward to booking him more in the future.
Response from Nikola Stajic Solo Acoustic Guitar:

Response from Nikola Stajic Solo Acoustic Guitar:
Hi Alex, it was a pleasure to be a part of your event. Thank you! :)
I have hired Nikola many times for multiple occasions and each time he nailed it. He understands the crowd, knows what he is doing and such a sweet guy. Not to mention his virtuoso guitar skills, with just one guitar he makes such a full and complete sound.

A rich acoustic guitar sound, beautiful music, and high-energy performance when needed.
Professional and on time.
Hi! I am Nikola and I am a touring/session guitarist, music director, and producer.
I had a chance to travel the world and share my passion for music with some amazing people, such as Amira Medunjanin, Trondheim Solistene, Bojan Z, Stjepan Hauser, Oli Jacobs, Tommy Emmanuel, John Knowles, Rade Serbedzija, Miroslav Tadic, as well as to perform my solo acoustic set. I was fortunate enough to play at some extraordinary venues, but one that left a lasting impression was a performance at the Colosseum Arena in Pula, Croatia with Amira Medunjanin and Trondheim Solistene. In 2020 I released my debut solo acoustic album Monody, which was recorded at Peter Gabriel’s Real World Studio in the UK, and BigBlue Studios in Boston, MA. Since then I’ve done a lot of session work through the RWS.
I’ve been living in the United States since 2013, but my story began in Serbia, in a musical family. Growing up in a somewhat challenging environment, considering wars and stuff, the guitar was really the only thing I could hold on to that could take me to unimaginable places, full of excitement and joy. This early developed gut led me to education and an amazing jazz high school in Belgrade, Serbia, called “Stankovic”. During high school, I was awarded 3 full scholarships for a Berklee College of Music. At that time I was introduced to another level of musicianship, traditional harmony, jazz harmony, arranging, and counterpoint, I was playing in a big band, I was in love with it.
Then, at the restaurant where I was playing in Belgrade, one night, Tommy Emmanuel walked it. We had an instant connection and he was so genuine that he offered me a presidential scholarship for the college, as well as his first signature model guitar! Ever since, he has been my support, mentor, my family.
Pretty much that sums it up, so if you like what you see, feel free to contact me!
All I need is a DI box or an XLR cable to connect to the PA system.
