Franci Podbrežnik

Stage Zlatorog

He comes from Solčava where he, as he says, grew up “without cell phones and social networks, with a modified pony bike and the nature as his playground”. It was the time “when children preferred fast running to fast typing”.

He started his music career in the bands Diamanti and Zmaji, he gained valuable experience working at the local radio station, and for two and a half seasons, he hosted the game part of the TV show Resnična resničnost (Real Reality). At Radio Slovenija, he learned the culture of speaking from Ajda Kalan.

For over two decades, he has been earning his living as a moderator and host – in this role we will also see him on the Zlatorog stage. He is also the keyboard player and singer in the bands Happy Band and The Moonlighting Orchestra.
