Introducing the Frontman
Aleksandar “Lightning” Solić
“Aggression and Feeling”
Aleks being the youngest of the three, was born in 2001 into the same family as Darko.
Being Darko’s nephew, the musical uncle took him under his wing from an early age and exposed him to all the music he listened to.
Aleks fist picked up the guitar at 5 years old learning his first licks that his grandfather showed him.
He would pick the guitar up again at 10 years old, under the condition to never stop playing it.
Aleks draws influence in guitar playing from many great guitar players, most notably: Stevie Ray Vaughan, Zakk Wylde, Slash, Dimebag Darrell and Vlatko Stefanovski.
Only around three years ago, Aleks would start singing, drawing influence from Hard Rock's greatest singers such as James Hetfield, Layne Staley, Scott Stapp and Sully Erna.
Aleks is the electrifying presence on the Stage that makes every Mojo Company gig unique.
Introducing the Thunderous Bass
Gerry "The Thunder" Krist
"Precision and Groove"
Gerry is the seasoned Veteran in the Band, having been active and onstage since 1991.
Gerry first picked up the bass at age 16 and ever since, he has played multiple shows throughout his career.
Gerry is a very active songwriter, having written many songs for his former Bands, aswell as Mojo Company.
His bass playing is indeed very interesting and compelling as everything he plays feels like a Bass Solo.
He has been influenced by many legendary bassists such as Leo Lyons, Stanley Clarke, Berry Oakley and Michael Anthony.
Although he mainly enjoys music such as various genres of Blues, Jazz and Rock N' Roll, he is no stranger to cranking his Bass up and playing some of the heaviest stuff you'll ever hear.
Gerry is the driving force behind the band's Music and his Bass let's you feel the music inside your Body.
Introducing the Man behind the Drum Set:
Darko “The Ripper” Petrović
"Darko is the Man who bangs away on the drums
like they owe him Money!"
Darko was born in the former Yugoslavia to a somewhat musical family as his father is a guitarist and his sister a singer.
Darko’s first Instrument was actually the guitar at which he was fairly good at, as at that time he was practicing a lot of Van Halen licks.
He played intensively from his eight year until he was 21.
Darko would not start playing drums until the age of 39 (2022) due to lack of drummers in our area.
Darko was always amazed by heavier music, as he started listening to bands like Guns N’ Roses and Metallica, as early as 12 years old. Along the way he learned to appreciate all the bands that came before, such as Iron Maiden, AC/DC and so on…
Darko is the powerhouse of the band and ensures, that the groove can be felt in your bones!
