Born on May 13, 1976, in Belgrade, Serbia, Ana was introduced to the blues by her father, who played guitar and bass and often hosted jam sessions at home.

Ana's discography showcases her versatility, blending blues, rock, soul, and jazz. Her triple album, Trilogy (2016), exemplifies this range, with each disc dedicated to a different genre

“I was lucky enough to be born in a family that loved blues, rock, loud music, jam sessions, and guitar magazines. That's what everyday life was.”
