Vesna Pisarović
Vesna Pisarović is a Croatian pop singer known out of Croatia for participating in the 2002 Eurovision Song Contest with the song "Everything I Want" (English version of "Sasvim Sigurna").
She was born on April 9, 1978 in the Bosnian town of Brčko (then Yugoslavia), but grew up in Požega, Croatia. From her earliest childhood she attended a music school, where she played the flute, sang in choirs and participated in various music contests.
In the mid-1990s she moved to Zagreb, Croatia, where she continued her musical career. She began singing in clubs and writing songs. In 1997, while performing at the Croatian festival Zadarfest, she met Milana Vlaović. Vlaović started to write songs for Vesna.
In 2002 Vesna Pisarović won the annual Dora festival, the event that determines Croatia's entry for the Eurovision Song Contest. Her song "Everything I Want" placed 11th in the Eurovision Song Contest in 2002.
Many traditional fans were disappointed that Pisarović became the first ever Croatian based performer (including dozens down the generations representing Yugoslavia) to perform her entire song in English rather than the local language as the Southern Slavic states have been known to do, even in the 21st century.
She wrote the song "In the Disco" which represented Bosnia and Herzegovina at the Eurovision Song Contest 2004.
She released 5 solo albums, "Da znaš" in 2000, "Za tebe stvorena" in 2001, "Kao da je vrijeme" in 2002, "Pjesma mi je sve" in 2003 and "Peti" in 2005. In 2003. a "Best Of" compilation album was released.
In 2012 she released a jazz and improvised music album with a band called "With Suspicious Minds", a musical project devoted to Elvis Presley.
