Srđan Marjanović (Serbian Cyrillic: Срђан Марјановић) is a Serbian singer-songwriter from Belgrade.
Marjanović was born in 1952 in Banja Luka. In 1961, he moved to Belgrade, where he became interested in rock music. He played guitar in the bands Svici (Fireflys), Usamljeni (The Lonely Ones) and Gru. In 1971, he travelled to Sweden, where he performed songs by Donovan and Bob Dylan, accompanying himself with a guitar and a harmonica.
Marjanović returned to Belgrade in 1972, and soon became a part of the Belgrade acoustic rock scene. At the time he also performed in the musical Jesus Christ Superstar, played in Atelje 212, playing one of the priests.
In 1973, at the Festival Omladina, he won the Jury Award for the song "Tražim" ("I Am Searching"). During the same year, he appeared at the Zagreb Festival with the song "Prvi put sretni" ("Happy for the First Time"). In 1974, at the Opatija Festival, he performed the song "Ja te volim, ljubavi" ("I Love You, My Dear"). These songs were released on 7" singles, which Marjanović recorded with bass guitarist Dušan Ćućuz and drummer Mića Lolić "Žorž". After he ended the cooperation with the two, Marjanović recorded and played with the band SOS, with keyboardist Đorđe Petrović occasionally joining them. He often performed the opening act on YU Grupa concerts, and he performed as the opening act on Belgrade concert of the British band Soft Machine.
He recorded his first studio album, entitled Srđan Marjanović i prijatelji (Srđan Marjanović and Friends) in 1974, with the members of YU Grupa. The backing vocals on the album were sung by the members of the acoustic rock band Zajedno, among which was, at the time, Bora Đorđević. In the autumn of 1975, Marjanović and three other singer-songwriters, Drago Mlinarec, Ivica Percl and Tomaž Domicelj, held a month-long tour entitled Četvorica za mir (Four for Piece).
