In my life I was always into music and art. I was born in former Yugoslavia, raised in Germany and partly in Great Britain. In school I was rather asked to sing than to give answers to any theory questions. All music teachers liked my singing and my classmates applauded. I felt so gorgeous and special, like a shining star.
At the age of 13 I dreamed of being a superstar. I rehearsed my favourite English songs although at this time I didn't understand even a single word… At the age of 15 I finally convinced my mother to give me permission for studying vocal coaching.
At first, she didn't like the idea because all private teachers were too expensive for my empty pockets.
Luckily I preferred to stand on my own two feet and was already earning little money. Of course, money was a big problem but my decision was much stronger. So I kept taking singing lessons and at the same time I started with Ballet, Jazz, Modern Dance.
In August, 1999. I decided to record my first professional album. Emotionally this was a very hard time because my country Serbia was bombed just two months ago. My cousin and several of his colleagues were killed by the bombs while on duty as a security team in a track, close to a hospital in Belgrade. Only one of them heard the bombs and saved his life. Although heavy hearted I took all my savings and went off to Belgrade. I met a few musicians and recorded ten songs. That is how my debut album "Čuvaj se"was born…
In 2005. Rainer Wetenkamp and I recorded three new songs in English. He did all the compositions, arrangements and production. I wrote all the lyrics and have sung all the lead and backing vocals. I wrote "Illusion", "The Heat" and "I See a Light".
2010. I wrote the song "Illusion" in Serbian "Iluzija".
I wrote about ten more songs in English and Rainer composed some really nice melodies. I hope we will finish "Where Is My Home" soon.
At present I work as a singer and dancer to my own choreographies. Since I was little up to now I had plenty of various performances in theatres, discotheques and TV. All this experience made it possible for me to regularly offer professional training in singing, dancing and acting.
Although I am not a world star I never stopped working, I never stopped being an artist. Life inspires me every day. Up to now I have managed my career all by myself. Although some people supported me in a way I did not have my breakthrough. I am aware of the fact that I really need powerful people in order to achieve my child goal. Nobody can manage such big career doing all themselves .
My motto is: Learning by doing. The hardest but the best school is Life.
One does not have to be the first or on top of the list to be a winner. Important is how I feel inside.
My answer is: NEVER GIVE UP.
