Podrugović did not sing but used to 'speak' his poems; he understood and felt the poems and thought about what he said. He was Serbia's best known fiddle player (guslar) after Filip Višnjić.
Podrugović's family was from the village of Kazanci in the municipality of Gacko.{{cite book|last=Popović|first=Miodrag|title=Vuk Stef.
