When Sakić was only 13 years old, he was a drummer for a folk band. Later on, he played with the bassist Bratislav Braca Dinkić. He was a drummer until 1984. In the late 1970s, by profession, Sakić was a welder; however, he also worked as a waiter in a
kafana. Sakić did not believe in his own singing abilities. If it had not been for a customer who offered him 500
Dinars to hear him sing, Sakić likely would not have pursued a musical career. From then on, Sakić decided to perform folk music and to learn popular folk songs. Sakić aimed to learn 5 songs a day. In his repertoire, he included songs by popular artists such as
Toma Zdravković,
Šaban Šaulić and
Zdravko Čolić. Sakić gained popularity in the 1980s, as a vocalist in the Yugoslavian musical act,
Južni Vetar; alongside
Dragana Mirković,
Mile Kitić,
Šemsa Suljaković and
Kemal Malovčić. He was a member from 1982 until 1991. He left due to the hospitalisation of Miodrag Mile Ilić (Mile Bas), the bassist and founder of Južni Vetar. While Ilić was hospitalised, Sakić recorded two albums under the production of Zoran Starčević;
Ljubila Me Žena Ta (1992) and
Korak Do Sna (1993). Once Ilić had recovered, Sakić rejoined Južni Vetar and recorded another 7 albums;
U Meni Potraži Spas (1994),
Ruža i Trn (1995),
Zoko, Moja Zoko (1996),
Dodirni Me (1997), ''Drž' Se Mile Još Si Živ
(1998) and Ne, Ne Daj Da Te Ljubi'' (2001). After 17 albums with Miodrag M. Ilić, Perica Zdravković, Sava Bojić and Branislav Vasić, Sakić once again left Južni Vetar. Sakić's career began to stagnate in the 2010s due to alcohol problems which caused his health to deteriorate. In 2014, Sakić performed his signature songs,
Lepa Do Bola and
Ej, Od Kad Sam Se Rodio on
Zvezde Granda. Due to his increasingly poor health, his last album,
Jedina, was released that same year. ==Personal life==
