During his musical career, Prelević released three solo albums and one album with the symphonic rock band Opus. He also made recordings with rock band Korni Grupa and jazz rock band Oliver. Prelević wrote articles and short stories for a number of Serbian and Yugoslav magazines and authored three books of short stories.
