Amir Rešić (22 January 1964 – 18 October 2007), known by the stage nameNino, was aBosnianturbo-folk singer.
Rešić was born January 22, 1964, inBosanska Dubica,Bosnia and Herzegovina, to aBosniak family. After completing high school and serving in theYugoslav People's Army, Amir he moved toKruševac,SR Serbia in the1980s to pursue a singing career.
After moving to Kruševac in the 1980s, Amir met aSerbian woman who would become his first wife. Upon meeting his first wife, Rešić converted fromIslam toSerbian Orthodoxy and changed his name toNikola (which is where his nicknameNino comes from). Amir would go on to marry this woman, but would only remain in a relationship with her for a few years before filing for divorce.[1]
Amir's conversion was a source of controversy, especially with the ethnic tensions brewing inYugoslavia at the time, which would eventually lead into theYugoslav Wars. Amir's friends claim that he never officially changed his religion,[2] and some sources claim that Amir had only done so to help his turbo-folk career, which was overwhelmingly run by the Serbian entertainment scene.[3][4] Amir would eventually convert back to Islam and relocate back toBosnia and Herzegovina in 2004.[5]
Rešić was married and divorced 3 times, with the marriages resulting in three daughters: Amela, Sandra and Tamara. His daughter Sandra Rešić competed inZvezde Granda.[6][7]
Amir lived the rest of his days inBosnia and Herzegovina. In 2007, at the age of 43, he died from the perforation of thepancreas, caused by long-termexcessive alcohol consumption.[8]
