He gained international recognition with the release of his album “The Soundtrack”, on which he recorded his arrangements of famous movie themes, which he also published in his collection “Unforgettable Movie Themes”, a publication that has been sold in more than thirty countries.
Due to his delicate tone and musical temperament, he received the epithets “Guitarist of poetic musicality” and “Gentleman with a guitar” by music critics. Nemanja started composing at the age of fourteen, and his compositions have already become part of the concert repertoire of many renowned guitarists.
He has held several concerts at the United Nations in New York, as well as at the Kennedy Center in Washington, and in 2020 he made his debut at the famous Isaac Stern auditorium at Carnegie Hall in New York.
