His artistic prowess spans a diverse range of creative domains, including film, art, performance, installations, theatre, dance, and fashion.
He has shared stages and radio shows with artists such as X-Coast, MCMLXXXV, DJ Rashad, Scratch DVA, DJ Lag, and Marfox, as well as Battle Ax, Alex Gvojic, and Susin Jane. His roles as a contemporary composer, music producer, sound designer, and curator of club nights reflect a dedication to bridging contemporary music with his origins, especially as it relates to Montenegro, his place of origin.
During his exploration, he delved deeply into the sounds of his heritage, with a focused emphasis on local instruments.

This dynamic audiovisual and multisensory live experience embodies his journey of self-discovery and musical exploration.
Starting in September 2023, Regis pursuits a residence at the Cité Internationale des arts, actively working on a new album titled Four Nahiyahs. This forthcoming album promises to maintain his signature spirit and direction while venturing into new creative realms.
