Igor Panić (Serbian Cyrillic: Игор Панић; born 10 August 1996), better known as Nucci (Serbian: Нући, romanized: Nući), is a Serbian rapper. He rose to prominence in 2020 with the single "BeBo" and has since had numerous commercially successful singles, including six Croatia Songs-topping songs. His debut album Zamena za bol was released in 2024.
Early life
Igor Panić was born on 10 August 1996 in Smederevo, FR Yugoslavia.[2] He began writing songs during elementary school. His main childhood music influences were Serbian hip-hop artists Marčelo, Bad Copy, Wikluh Sky. Panić stated that he was also influenced Amy Winehouse, AC/DC, Iggy Pop, 50 Cent, Rihanna, Cypress Hill, and Zvonko Bogdan through his father who took him to their live shows.[3] The stage name 'Nucci' comes from a high school nickname.[4]
Career
Nucci made his recording debut in 2011. He gained more significant popularity upon the release of the single "Bebo" in June 2020 through Generacija Zed.[4] Following a series of successful singles in 2020 and 2021, Nucci began performing for Serbian diaspora across Europe and also embarked on a short tour in the United States in November 2021 along with rappers Voyage, Corona, and Rimski.[5][6]
In August 2022, together with Voyage, Nucci headlined his first Music Week Festival in Ušće, Belgrade.[7] He made a cameo appearance in U klinču on Radio Television of Serbia later that October.[8] He and Voyage performed at the 2023 New Year's Eve concert in front of the House of the National Assembly in Belgrade.[9] On 6 October 2023, the duo held their first major concert at the Port of Belgrade, entitled Beograd daje sve (lit. 'Belgrade Gives Everything').[10] Recognised for his fashion style, Nucci became the first man to be featured on the cover of the Serbian Harper's Bazaar in December 2023.[3]
On 24 October 2024, Nucci released his debut album Zamena za bol through Generacija Zed.[11] It peaked at number eight in Austria and number twenty in Switzerland. In addition, seven tracks form the album charted in Croatia. The following June, he released EP Trilogy, which spawned a chart-topping song "Hilton Hotel Barça".
