Mr Davor Maraus was born in 1979 in Sarajevo. He graduated from high school in 1998 with a great success in the class of prof. Desanka Jovanović. Since there was no Percussion Department at that time, he continued his education in 2000 in Stockholm as part of a collaboration between the Music Academy of the University of Sarajevo and the Royal Music Academy in Stockholm. He graduated with the highest grade in the class of prof. Joachim Anterot. After completing his studies at the Royal Music Academy in Stockholm, he is employed at the Music Academy of the University of Sarajevo.
