"I grew up in the former Yugoslavian Republic of Serbia, where wars, political turmoil, and systemic gender inequality made pursuing a career in music an uphill battle. Along the way, I faced emotional abuse and sexual harassment, experiences that nearly drove me out of this field entirely. But instead of breaking me, those challenges ignited a fire within me: a determination to create lasting change and ensure that women are truly heard, celebrated, and empowered.

 ​

For me, success has never been about personal accolades; it’s about paving the way for others, elevating voices that too often go unheard, and sparking a movement that will endure for generations. That vision, rooted in my own journey, gave birth to LunART—a place where women’s artistry is honored and their impact magnified.​

​

Thank you for being part of this journey. Together, we are creating a legacy that will empower generations to come."
