In 1990, the leader of Pop Design, Slovenia’s most successful pop band, invited Vili to perform with the group at the Eurovision Song Contest pre-selection event. Vili’s co-operation with Pop Design brought the group five gold records, two silver CDs, two bronze CDs and three silver cassettes.
Matjaz Vlašic played violin as a five year-old. He studied violin at the Secondary Music School in Ljubljana. It was then that he started writing songs for various Slovene pop musicians. He later joined the group Pop Design. Many of the songs he wrote for the band became big hits. He now concentrates on writing songs for various musicians.
