Piloti (Serbian Cyrillic: Пилоти, trans. The Pilots) is a Serbian and Yugoslav rock band formed in Belgrade in 1980. Led by vocalist, guitarist and principal songwriter Zoran "Kiki" Lesendrić, Piloti initially immersed in the Yugoslav new wave scene, and later moved towards mainstream pop rock sound, becoming one of the leading pop rock acts on the late 1980s and early 1990s Yugoslav rock scene.
Formed by Zoran Lesendrić (vocals, guitar), Dragan Andrić (bass guitar), Goran Bogićević (guitar) and Nenad Antanasijević (drums), Piloti released their self-titled debut in 1981, achieving large mainstream popularity. Their second studio album Dvadeset godina, released in 1982, featured similar new wave sound. Upon completing the recording of their third album, Piloti went on hiatus, the recorded material ending up unreleased. Lesendrić reformed the band in 1984, the group turning towards more commercial sound, achieving nationwide success with their late 1980s and early 1990s releases. Piloti disbanded in 1997, making a brief reunion in 1998. Following the release of his first solo album in 2008, Lesendrić reformed Piloti once again. The group has released three studio albums since under the name Kiki Lesendrić & Piloti
