Vladana

Vladana (born Vladana Vucinic, July 18, 1986 Podgorica, Montenegro) is a Monetengrin pop/rock singer. She showed an interest in music at an early age. Vladana finished primary and secondary schooling in music, focusing on the piano and opera, and graduated from the Faculty of Political Science in Podgorica. She took part in many competitions and won many local and national awards in chamber music and solo performances.

In 2003 Vladana made her television debut on a national karaoke show, where she reached the finals. Her debut single was performed at Budva Festival 2003 in Budva, Montenegro. In 2005 and 2006, she participated on Montevizija (the Montenegrin selection for the Eurovision contest) and at the most popular festival of pop music in Montenegro, Sunčane Skale.

Vladana released her first video for the single “Kao Miris Kokosa” ("Like a coconut smell"), directed by Montenegrin director Nikola Vukčević, which became the most-aired video in Montenegro. In 2007 she continued working with Vukcevic and released her second video, for "Poljubac Kao Dorucak" ("Breakfast kiss").

A year after she recorded her first single in English, "Bad Girls Need Love Too", Vladana released her debut album with authors and producers Zoran Mucalica and Dalibor Nedovic. In November 2010, a video for the song “Sinner City”, animated and directed by Zeljko Katanic, was released as a prelude to her first album in English, of the same title. The album was launched for online sales in December 2010.

Vladana is the first solo singer from Montenegro to be broadcast on the regional MTV station MTV Adria.
