Mapo Keys (Serbia)

Mapo Keys is the original pop-funk project of jazz pianist Filip Bulatović.

This musician received his musical education in Belgrade and Cologne, while he perfected his jazz pianist skills in New York. In 2012, he released his first pop single, Love and Trust , which announced the direction in which Mapo Keys would later go. 

In New York, he founded a band with some local musicians and performed for the first time under the name Mapo Keys at the prestigious club Nublu, where he performed several times. In that period, he recorded two singles –  What Did You Do To Me, with singer Saeed Renaud, and , in collaboration with house Boyfriend producer Jafunk.

After returning to Belgrade in 2020, he continued to develop his sound – this time also as a singer. 

He published the songs Ti i Ja,Planin, , as well as his most popular single  Mirisi u magli.

In Belgrade, he has performed with a great funk band and musicians such as Aleksandra Bijelić, Dragan Ivanović, Peđa Milutinović and Luka Ignjatović.

After experimenting with sound, he formed a line-up with Peđa Milutinović and Isidora Orlović. This combination depicts the evolution of the Mapo Keys project and finally unites Filip’s vision as an author – from composing and songwriting, to dance, performance and music.
