Nemanja Kojić (December 17, 1975 in Belgrade, Serbia), better known by his stage name Hornsman Coyote (or just Coyote), is a Reggae/Dub musician of Serbian descent.^[1][2]

Personal life

Coyote resides in Belgrade. He is the son of a Borivoje Kojić, a famous Serbian artist.

Music

He is on the local scene for about 17 years playing with reggae, hip hop and hardcore bands like Del Arno Band, Sunshine, Dead Ideas, Shappa, etc.

In 1994 he formed his own band Eyesburn. It took couple of years for EB to become a hardcore/reggae legend in the Balkans, after recording 7 albums and having a European tour in 2004, supporting and doing a song "Moses" with legendary Max Cavalera and his band Soulfly. Eyesburn have a lot of good works to do in the future. One of things yet to come is a super reggae jazz instrumental project named Burnin' Soundz gathered by Eyesburn crew and some of the best Belgrade based musicians.

Coyote himself worked outside Serbia on another Soulfly record "Dark Ages" - you can see the video "Inner Spirit" on the Soulfly website. At the same time he worked with top Serbian hip hop producer Wikluh Sky and French MC King Kyll making one album under name Shappa. In Serbia as a supporting act he and his bandmates shared stages with artists like Burning Spear, Dub Syndicate, Lee Scratch Perry, Asian Dub Foundation, etc. Coyote also appeared as a session musician and a guest playing trombone, guitars or singing for many Belgrade and ex-YU bands like: Riblja Čorba, Discord, Skarps, Irie FM, Dub Rebellion, Who See?, Kanda, Kodža i Nebojša, Darkwood Dub, Block Out, E-Play, Raspect, etc.

His last album "What next?!" had much success. He recorded fifteen songs which he performed on Exit Festival (Novi Sad, Serbia) and many other festivals and solo concerts .

In 2010 he realised his 2nd solo LP "Self Defend You" (2010) for Polish label Karrot Kommando
