Vladan Aksentijević was born on 12 August 1977 in Belgrade, Serbia, at the time part of Yugoslavia.

He has released three studio albums as a member of Bad Copy alongside Sky Wikluh and Timbe.[1] Their humorous approach to hip-hop has attracted praise from various musicians, including Dragan Brajović and Don Trialeon.

He has also been featured on the Bvana album Fujznem Džigili in 2009, and on the Mononukleozni rodjaci album Priče iz hibernacije in 2011. In 2010, Aksentijević was a featured artist on the Gru track I dalje me žele. The song achieved numerous accolades, including "The Number One Best Rap Song of 2010" by Kurir and the "Number One Best Hip-Hop Songs of the Last Decade" by Blic.[citation needed]

Other than his music career, Nigrutin has worked as a sound man at Radio SKC for 4 years, and has done work for television and film. He has appeared in various shows as a guest, including the Abarth Serbian Challenge, AmiG Show, Veče sa Ivanom Ivanovićem, Big Brother, Ja volim Srbiju, Tvoje lice zvuči poznato and Operacija trijumf.
