Long to Belong

Mateja Jezdić is an independent musician, composer, singer, multi-instrumentalist, and producer from Niš, Serbia.

His start as a recording artist began around the 2020 lockdown, providing him with the opportunity to write, record, and produce his debut album, “Time Station,” in his home studio. Mateja’s musical style on his debut record blended various genres, with a primary focus on Alt Pop while incorporating elements of Funk and Electronic music.

Following the success of his debut, he released his second album, “Reset” in June 2023, showcasing his versatility across different genres and grooves. Mateja documented the recording process of Reset, featuring 14 guest musicians, in a “Making of Reset” behind-the-scenes type documentary released on his YouTube channel alongside the album.

In August 2023, Mateja had the privilege of performing his original music live with his backing band on the main stage of the Nišville International Jazz Festival, garnering praise and positive reviews from the audience. The concert was subsequently released as a live album.

Throughout 2024, Mateja collaborated with his band on new material for his third studio album Evidence. While maintaining his signature Alt Pop sound, this album explored innovative musical avenues, expanding Mateja’s artistic journey into uncharted territories. It was digitally released on July 18th, 2025.
