Sead "Sejo" Kalač (Serbian Cyrillic: Sead "Sejo" Kalač; born 5 October 1964) is a pop-folk singer popular in the former Yugoslavia.
Early in his professional career, he played the accordion in a band called "Paukova mreža" before landing a solo recording deal with the label PGP-RTB (later called PGP-RTS). The band played throughout the then-existing Yugoslavia in places such as restaurants, hotels and discothèques.
His first solo album, Ulica jorgovana (1991), was recorded in Belgrade, Serbia and his second album, Poletimo poletimo (1994), was recorded in Munich, Germany.
The recording of his third album, Alipašin izvor (1999), started in 1995 in Ljubljana, Slovenia but recording was put on hold until 1998. He then recording a song entitled "Biščanka" and premiered it a popular music festival in Bihać, Bosnia and Herzegovina.
Kalač has recorded duets with Serbian singer Stoja (a 2003 remake of his 2000 song "Tika tak") and Bosnian singer Šemsa Suljaković ("Lažu te"; first featured on her 2000 album Ne vjerujem nikom više, later re-released on his 2003 album Voda, vazduh i sloboda). Both duets were major successes. Kalač also recorded a song with the Serbian singer Jana called "Sunce sjalo" for her album Malo magije (2005).
He was the inspiration for a cattle character in the 2007 Serbian adult animated comedy film Jet Set.
