Milenko Milicev - Misko
vocal and bass

Misko - Born in Kikinda (Serbia - former Yugoslavia) long time ago.

He had begun to show interest in music when he was 14 years old - enrolled in the classical guitar lessons in Kikinda. After some two years (the same length of the classes) he converted his interest to playing songs of Beatles and native YU rock bands.

He formed his first band with his best friend Zika (Zivko Ugrenovic). It happened as Zika hit the doorknob at Misko's house with Misko's acoustic Guitar and made a hole in its body..

Soon after Misko and Zika bought another guitar of the same brand and formed band by the name of "Phoenix". With Music that was Misko and Zika's creation and Poetry borrowed from Misko's girlfriend at that time, band started working. Following band has changed drummer and bass players and got new members, female vocalist, bass and keyboard player, and band has changed it name to "5th dimension". In 5th Dimension, Misko was a lead singer and was alternating playing bass, rhythm and solo guitars with Zika. The name 5th Dimension sticked with Misko up to today's date.

Band 5th Dimension existed for some 3 years and was part of many concerts in the town of Kikinda. The romantic connection happened between Misko and keyboard player at that time, Gorana, and today they are married and very much in love, but Gorana is not a member of 5th Dimension as it is today.

After serving in the army and two years of study (mechanical engineer), Misko decides to Emigrate to Canada in 1991. Soon after and with his best man Milos Cobanov (well known as one of good acoustic native music band players of the Band "Mokas" from Mokrin) Misko starts to play in Toronto Serbian restaurants and bars, playing everything popular at the time. Of course Misko always tried to put some of his love into it, so concerts would always finish with some rock & roll songs.

When the opportunity presented itself upon opening of the new Toronto restaurant "Kostana", Misko & Milos (Coka) are forming a bend "Mokasi" together with Milan Dmitrovic. They decided to play acoustic music (tamburasi) for this occasion, where Misko played Bass, Coka rhythm section and Milan solo. Mokasi earned themselves a good popularity but unfortunately it was short lived.

Coka leaves Toronto to USA for work, and Misko enrolls in University of Toronto.

In a year of 2000, Misko finished his Computer Science studies and moves to USA to work. As his wife Gorana says, Misko was always a bore talking about how he will forma a band again, his love for music and live performances remained.

After Misko's return to Toronto, by happy coincidence Misko meets Franja and so the story of 5th Dimension continues.
