Predrag Jovanović (Serbian Cyrillic: Предраг Јовановић) (born April 14, 1950 in Kruševac, SR Serbia, SFR Yugoslavia) is a Serbian musician and entertainer. He is known as a former frontman of the Yugoslav group D' Boys by his stage alias Peđa D' Boy, and previously as a vocalist for the German rock band Jane.
Born to a mother (Mila Matić) who is also involved with singing, Jovanović was a vocalist of the group Lutalice during the 1960s. In 1967 he had a cameo appearance in the famous Yugoslav black wave film Kad budem mrtav i beo by the acclaimed director Živojin Pavlović. In the famous singing contest scene he is introduced as "Predrag Jovanović, young hippie from Kruševac" before proceeding to sing "I'm a Believer" by The Monkees.
Jovanović moved to France where he played various clubs as well as in metro stations. Much like other hippies of the period, he also visited Goa in India where he performed with rock and jazz musicians from all around the world.
Being good at fashion design and tailoring, in the mid-1970s he opened a clothing store on Ibiza, where in 1980 he met the members of the West German rock group Jane. He became their rhythm guitarist and vocalist, participating in the recording of their 10th album.
