ZANA
At the first listen of Zanas music you know shes the real deal! With an eclectic mix of pop, R&B, and Eastern European soul and gipsy music, sprinkled her own brand of songwriter craftsmanship and emotive vocals, Zana is definitely a breath of fresh air.
Born in Mostar, a beautiful town in former Yugoslavia, Zana had creativity in her blood .At five her father took her to her first piano lesson and at thirteen she won every dance contest in town.
In 1993 the war in former Yugoslavia culminated and Zanas life took an unexpected twist. Zana and her family found them selves being refugees, selling everything they owned for a bus ticket to anywhere, away from war. They ended up in Sweden, a small town called Katrineholm where Zana met Steven A. Garrick, a jazz pianist and composer who would be a major influence on her musical development. He had previously worked with such musical luminaries as Sinatra, Count Basie, Aretha Franklin and even as vocal coach for Barbara Streisand and Dionne Warwick. Zana started singing in his ecumenical gospel choir, and began taking music lessons. That is where she got the basics for her vocal expression.
The most important thing Sandy has taught me is that you should do what you love and do it wholly, and you will become the best at it, cause no one can be better at what You do then you!
At the age of sixteen Zana recorded her first demo at her high school and immediately Sony Music Sweden offered her a record deal, but it wasnt the right opportunity. At eighteen she participated in a well known TV-broadcasted festival in Sarajevo, before an audience of twenty thousand people and has also played before big and small audiences all over Sweden.
Continuing to develop as an artist, Zana incorporated a wide range of styles in her music. Zana is a mix of a commercial city girl and barefooted gipsy with wild hair. She is a passionate 24- year old and has that blend of raw talent, brains and charisma, which you will rarely find in any field.

COMING SOON!Have you performed in front of an audience?Yeah! That's my calling in this life except for creating music, sharing it with an audience in order to make an impact. And every single individual is as important as the whole crowd.
