In the late 1970s, by profession, Sakić was a welder; however, he also worked as a waiter in a kafana. Sakić did not believe in his own singing abilities. If it wasn't for a customer who offered him 500 Dinars to hear him sing, Sakić would not have pursued a musical career. The customer was amazed by his voice. From then on, Sakić decided to perform folk music and to learn popular folk songs. Sakić aimed to learn 5 songs a day. In his repertoire, he included songs by popular artists such as Toma Zdravković, Šaban Šaulić and Zdravko Čolić.
