Srđan Šaper (Serbian Cyrillic: Срђан Шапер; born October 9, 1958) is a founder of I&F McCann Grupa. He is also well known as a founder and a member of the Yugoslav new wave band Idoli in the 1980s.
Šaper was born in Belgrade in 1958 as son of teacher Ljiljana and professor Radomir Šaper. His family lived in the Vasina Street until they moved to Nevesinjska Street in the Vračar naighbourhood. Šaper attended the Sveti Sava elementary school followed by the Eight Belgrade Gymnasium (now known as the Third Belgrade Gymnasium). During high school, he became interested in the work of Carl Jung and his analytical psychology. This was one of the reasons Šaper enrolled in the University of Belgrade's Faculty of Medicine where he developed friendships with future bandmate and business partner Nebojša Krstić as well as Boris Tadić who would go to become the President of Serbia.
In March 1979, with friends Krstić and Vlada Divljan, 20-year-old Šaper formed Idoli, a new wave band that quickly became popular throughout SFR Yugoslavia. He quit the medical studies, enrolling at the Belgrade's Academy of Fine Arts and graduating with a degree in film direction.
When Idoli disbanded in 1984, Šaper worked with Bucko & Tucko, a company which recorded TV commercials, and starred in Davitelj protiv davitelja movie as Spiridon Kopicl. He also worked on the soundtrack and wrote the song "Beogradski davitelj" which he performed with the imaginary band VIS Simboli. In 1987 he recorded Poslednja mladost u Jugoslaviji with Nebojša Krstić.
