# Voyage (rapper)

Mihajlo Veruović (Serbian Cyrillic: Михајло Веруoвић; born 15 September 2001), better known as Voyage (Serbian Cyrillic: Војаж, romanized: Vojaž), is a Serbian singer, rapper and actor. He made his recording debut in 2015 and released his first studio album Porok i greh in 2019. Voyage rose to mainstream prominence after the release of the single "Vrati me" (2019) with his then-girlfriend Breskvica.
In addition to his career in music, Veruović has starred in the television series U klinču since 2022.

## Early life

Mihajlo Veruović was born on 15 September 2001 in Belgrade, FR Yugoslavia. His mother Žana is a medical worker, whilst his father, Milan Veurović, served as the bodyguard to Prime Minister Zoran Đinđić. Following the 2003 assassination of Đinđić, Veruović and his family fled to Strasbourg, France, where they lived until Mihajlo turned eight. His stage name "Voyage" (French for "journey") comes from these events.
According to Veruović, his initial interest in music happened during primary school, when he started writing songs with his childhood friends. They subsequently formed a music collective called Company. Veruović graduated from the Ninth Belgrade Gymnasium.

## Career
### 2015–2020: Beginnings and collaboration with Breskvica

Voyage released his first song and music video, titled "Priđi bliže", as a member of Company in 2015. The collective released several other songs before their eventual disbandment. His first studio album, titled Porok i greh, was released in April 2019 under Die Rich record label, in collaboration with the recording artist Andre. Afterwards, Voyage began releasing songs under Generacija Zed. His first significant success came in May with "Otrovan", which was a collaboration with artist Henny. Voyage announced his debut solo album So Fxcking Blessed for September 2019.
In 2019, Voyage also began working together with his girlfriend Breskvica, releasing viral songs "Vrati me" and "Budi tu" in September and November, respectively. Their collaboration with rapper Vuk Mob "Koraci u noći", released in December 2019, has amassed over 47 million views on YouTube. In January the following year, Voyage and Breskvica saw mainstream media attention after their appearance on the late-night talk show Ami G Show, mainly because of his attitude and the live performance of "Budi tu", which were negatively perceived. Nevertheless, the duo continued successfully releasing singles until January 2021 when they ended their relationship. Among other songs, Voyage and Breskvica also had a duet with Tanja Savić, titled "Pancir", in November 2020, which has collected over 47 million views.

### 2021–present: Europol and U klinču

Following his breakup with Breskvica, Voyage released his first solo single in April 2021, titled "Pleši", featuring British rapper J Fado. It was released as a part of the soundtrack to the movie Južni vetar 2: Ubrzanje. In July, he collaborated with Greek rapper Snik on the single "Bounce", which topped the IFPI Greece Digital Singles Chart and has been certified 2× platinum. Subsequently, he worked with Rasta on "Aman" and Nucci on "Balkan". In August, Voyage headlined the Music Week Festival in Ušće, Belgrade. Later in November, he toured the United States along with trap musicians Nucci, Corona and Rimski.
In March 2022, Voyage released "Detinjstvo" as the first single from his album Europol. He had his first chart-topping single with "Gad" featuring Nucci, released in May 2022. It was followed by two more consecutive number one singles: "Tango" and "London" featuring Elena Kitić. In August 2022, Veruović joined the cast of the television series U klinču, broadcast by Radio Television of Serbia, along with Nikola Kojo and Branka Katić in the lead roles. Later that year, he also collaborated with Rasta and Darko Lazić on "Pismo" and released his solo single "La La La", which peaked at number 4 and 1 in Serbia.
Voyage and Nucci released "Bella Hadid" in January 2023. The single debuted at number 1 in Serbia. On 26 January, Voyage and Mimi Mercedez hosted the 2023 Music Awards Ceremony at the Belgrade Arena. During the ceremony, him and Nucci performed a medley of their hits. On 6 May of the same year, Serbian singer Tea Tairović released single "Balerina", a collaboration with Voyage, as part of her second studio album of the same name. In June 2023, in an interview with Extra FM, Voyage revealed that the release of Europol was cancelled due to the leak of unreleased album tracks. In August 2023, Voyage and Nucci announced their first concert at the Port of Belgrade for 6 October, entitled Balkan Daje Sve (Balkan Gives it All), after a verse from their duet "Balkan".
On 26 January 2023, Veruović and Mimi Mercedez hosted the 2023 Music Awards Ceremony at the Belgrade Arena. During the event, him and Nucci also performed a medley of their hits. On 6 October 2023, Balkan Daje Sve was held. The following year, on 14 June, Voyage released his first major-label studio album, Guns n' Roses, under IDJTunes. Among other tracks, the release also included the duet "Muškarčina" (Hunk) with Ceca.

## Public image

In September 2021, Veruović participated in a public campaign organized by the City of Belgrade to stimulate vaccination against COVID-19, when he stated: "Vaccination is a socially responsible decision everyone should do, but we cannot persuade anyone to do it". Moreover, he also said that his advocation was influenced by his mother who worked as a frontline medical worker during the pandemic.
In October 2021, Voyage voiced his opinions about homosexuality on Instagram, which was praised as an example of a "rare open and unambiguous" public support to the LGBT community in Serbia.

## Personal life

Verouvić was in a relationship with fellow musician Anđela Ignjatović, better known as Breskvica. The couple broke up in January 2021 after two years of dating.
