When he began, he was the only artist from Yugoslavia whose records were available in the record shops of Europe and the rest of the world. The single Luv Your Life was a great success, featuring a colourful animated music video reminiscient of The Beatles' Yellow Submarine. A pioneer of popular Yugoslavian music from the early 1950s on, Robić was an artist who successfully pursued both domestic and international careers for almost half a century. Leaving the darkness and negativity of the previous albums behind, Diorama was written and produced entirely by Daniel, yielding a positive and unique sound barely recognizable from their old days of grunge, featuring string and orchestral backing. In his own country, the most memorable of his many songs might be Vraćam se Zagrebe tebi (Coming Back to You, My Zagreb), Ta tvoja ruka mala (That Little Hand of Yours), and Tiho plove moje čežnje (Silent Sail of My Yearnings). The third album, Neon Ballroom, diverged from Freak Show by adding a greater amount of experimentation and piano/string arrangements. During his career, which started in 1948 in what was then Yugoslavia, he made more than one hundred records, mostly singles. The follow up Freak Show is much darker, heavier and "grungier", but did not reach the same level of success as Frogstomp despite the popularity of the single Freak. He began his career as a soloist with the Radio Zagreb Orchestra, while studying at the same time in Zagreb. After the win Silverchair quickly released their debut album Frogstomp, which although referred to as "light-grunge" by many critics went platinum in the US. Robić was born in Bjelovar. Silverchair came to national notice after winning a JJJ demo-contest with the song "Tomorrow," enjoying much attention during the grunge hype of the early 1990s.
