One thing that challenges musicians the most is finding their own voice in the deluge of all the musical influences and information this crazy world offers. Ana finds hers in a lyrical intimacy of a human voice.
The award - winning Slovenian vocalist is constantly combining her diverse musical background with current influences. Through her compositions and performances, you will hear jazz tradition blended with characteristics of folk music, poetry and influences of modern musicians, such as Theo Bleckmann, Norma Winstone, Aaron Parks, Snowpoet, Tatiana Parra, etc.
Devoted. creative. expressive.
Ana’s musical journey began with playing classical piano, which brought her some grand prizes. Despite that, she soon realised that she had more freedom to express herself through her voice. This led her to the University of Music and Performing Arts in Graz, where she had a chance to study with great musicians, such as Dena DeRose, Ed Partyka, Uli Rennert, Johannes Berauer, etc. In September 2020, she graduated Summa cum laude and moved to Basel to start her Master studies at Jazzcampus Basel. Throughout the two years, she worked with artists such as Guillermo Klein, Lisette Spinnler, Jorge Rossy, Gregor Hilbe, etc. She finished her studies in September 2022 and is now finishing her second Master’s degree in vocal pedagogy.
Ana is performing with many renowned musicians in Europe. She is mostly active with projects LILAMORS and Trokut, the latter was nominated for a Croatian award Porin as “best electronic album of the year.”
