Pete Vuckovic

Pete Vuckovic is a British/ Serbian singer/songwriter born in 1971 in Devon, England.

As a youngster, he was a keen hard rock/ heavy metal fan and played in bands with his older brother throughout his teens in his hometown of Tiverton in Devon, his first notable success came in 1993 after leaving his own band, 'Blackout', and moving to Birmingham to join reformed 'N.W.O.B.H.M' / Heavy metal band 'Diamond Head' as their bassist, he recorded on the 'Death and Progress' and 'Evil Live' albums but they split again soon after.

He is most well known for being the frontman and bassist in 'Britrock'/ punk band 3 Colours Red, with whom he recorded 2 U.K top 20 albums (Pure & Revolt), including 6 U.K top 40 singles during the late 90's, most notably his own composition 'Beautiful Day', which went to number 11 in the U.K and also entered the U.S billboard chart.

In 1999, at their peak, they split. He was quickly signed by Sony Records and spent 2 years writing and recording an album for his new project 'Elevation', they played shows in London and Manchester (with Vuckovic on guitar) as well as releasing an E.P but by the time it was finally finished his A&R man had lost his job and as such the album was never released.

3 Colours Red reformed in 2002 and recorded a third album (The Union of Souls) but split again in 2005.

He soon formed Bassknives with former 3 Colours Red bandmate Paul Grant and ex-Amen guitarist Rich Jones and released the 'Come On You Motherfuckers' E.P in 2006.

He lives in London.
