Beginnings with bands
Vunturišević began her professional music career as a member of underground bands The Root Out and MistakeMistake.[1] She gained popularity alongside Svi na pod!, which was founded in 2007.[4] After releasing two albums with the band: Prvi (2011) and Mladost (2014), she decided to pursue a solo career in 2015.
Solo career
On 21 April 2017, Vunturišević released her critically acclaimed debut solo album Daljine under Mascom Records. It was preceded by the single "Kese, etikete".[5][6] As a part of her album tour, she held a concert at the Belgrade Youth Center on 19 May 2018.[7] In June the following year, Vunturišević began collaborating with Bassivity Digital through which she released "Promašaj".[8] The single was subsequently taken off music platforms alongside "Mili mili" by Sara Jo, which was written by Vunturišević, by company Tim Drum Music (TDM). Two months later, she made a statement that TDM, which was supposed to represent her copyright, was negligent of her music and also censored her work outside Mascom Records, whom the company is associated with.[9] Due to legal issues, Vunturišević took a hiatus from releasing music until she reached a settlement with TDM in March 2020 and officially parted her ways with Mascom.
In September 2022, Vunturišević performed in Tašmajdan Hall during the EuroPride manifestation, hosted by Belgrade.[10] On 11 February 2023, she released her second album Ljubav under Bassivity Digital. It produced three singles: "Money" (2021), "Madrina" and the title track (2022).[11] To promote the album, Vunturišević held two sold-out shows at the Belgrade Youth Center on April 12 and 13, 2023.[12]
Vunturišević describes her musical style as "capitalist blues", which originated from the review of her song "Kese, etikete" by Serbian music publicist and critic Žikica Simić.[2] Her music draws influences from indie pop, trip hop and dancehall.[13][14] In 2023, Muzika.hr enlisted Vunturišević on their International Women's Day list of the "women who leave their mark on the regional music scene".[15]
In 2014, Vunturišević started her own children's choir, named DFhor. In 2015, she graduated from the Faculty of Musical Arts at the University of Belgrade with a degree in music pedagogy.[1][16]
She has a son, born in 2016, with director Ivan Stojiljković.[17]
