Stampedo is a mixed style Zagreb based band crossing over from world music, lounge, ska, jazz to cheep cheese synthie disco! It was founded in 1995. by a songwriter Javor Jeić and a very charismatic lead singer Ivanka Mazurkijević. Soon, thanks to their exceptional talents the band struck nationwide, having a few nr.1 hits and videos since then, and a lot of airplay, being signed by the biggest Croatian label Croatia Records. In 1998 it was voted as the best Croatian newcomer band of the year.

In 2000 Javor left the performing line-up continuing to contribute only as a songwriter so Daniel came into the band over his old friend and collaborator, the bas player, Stanko Kovačić. Keyboard player Frano Đurović, in his "normal" life a very serious academic contemporary music composer and a very reliable, a very very reliable drummer Braco Crnković completed the line-up. Besides it's members, Stampedo was always open for tons of guest musicians and supporters like film directors Tomislav Rukavina and Gonzo, or singers like Hladno pivo's lead singer Mile,or Zdenka Kovačićek, among many others...

In 2004, Daniel unfortunately had to leave the band due to other life circumstances. His replacement was talented guitar player Dale from Split. Funnily enough, it was the moment where Daniel finaly started to contribute creativly, as he wrote some songs for them. One of the songs, "Pored tebe je najbolje", was released 2008 on a record "Možda stvarno".

Daniel: "It is, to my humble opinion, a very exciting live act which I really did enjoy beeing with. Ivanka is a great live singer, and has great stage charisma and entrentainer qualities. Stanko is my long time friend and musical partner with a long mutual history of music making, again and again. I hope, with my somewhat restless kind of guitar playing, I could contribute to its uniqueness. If you get a chance to see them/us, take it. I think you won't regret!
Unfortunately, on the other hand, my creativ contribution to Stampedo was almost zero, except for the very last period where I wrote some songs for them and one song was taken to be recorded on the 4th album. I wasn't in the band during the first 2 CDs and although I did play the guitar on the third one, guitar parts and the sound were composed and made by the band's songwriter Javor (an exceptional guitar player with his very own touch) and there was a little space to bring in other views. That wasn't very fortunate situation for me. But this changed from the forth record on, and the actual plan is that all members should/can contribute with song materials."

4th record, "Možda stvarno", was released by the bands new label Aquarious records. Daniels song "Pored tebe" was released as a second single from it, and reached top 10 at most of the radio station charts thru out Croatia.
