Branimir "Johnny" Štulić is a Yugoslav singer-songwriter, musician and author, best known for being the frontman of the popular Yugoslav rock group Azra. He is known for his charismatic stage performances and inspiring song lyrics that often combined rock poetry with a strong sense for social commentary, which is the cause for him becoming a cult figure.
In the wake of the Yugoslav wars, Štulić frequently expressed his disapproval of separatism and was a fervent believer of Yugoslavism and so called "brotherhood and unity". He commented: "I have no passport, no money and no place to go back to. I had a Yugoslav one and it expired. Yugoslavia is no more."
Today, Štulić lives a modest and ascetic lifestyle in Houten, Netherlands, with his wife. He typically does not give interviews and is very protective of his privacy. He reaffirmed repeatedly that he has no interest in going back to his rock career, though he has since recorded and posted over 600 traditional songs, hit covers and some original material on YouTube. Štulić states he sees no reason to return the region, as he "went as far away as possible from people who suddenly wanted to kill each other". Upon being asked about visiting Croatia or Serbia, he stated he could not due to not possessing a passport and that he has no interest in registering for one.
