Early Life and Education

Anja Rupel was born on March 19, 1966, in Ljubljana, to Sonja Berce, a well-known singer, and Fedja Rupel.

She began singing publicly as a child, performing at festivals by age ten and winning the children’s competition Mini EMS in 1978.

She studied journalism at the Faculty of Social Sciences in Ljubljana, graduating in the late 1980s, a background that later served her radio and media career perfectly.

She is of Slovenian ethnicity, though her religion is unknown.

Career

Anja Rupel shot to fame in 1983 as the charismatic frontwoman of Videosex, whose debut album Videosex ’84 and subsequent releases (Lacrimae Christi, Svet je zopet mlad) became cult classics across former Yugoslavia.

With her distinctive deep voice and provocative stage presence, she embodied the rebellious spirit of the 1980s Ljubljana alternative scene.

After Videosex disbanded in 1992, she launched a solo career with the album Življenje je kot rock’n’roll (1993), followed by hits like “Odpri oči” (1994), “Mali medo” (1996), and “Ne ustavi me nihče” (1998), which dominated Slovenian radio for years.

Parallel to music, Anja built a respected broadcasting career, hosting long-running shows on Radio Slovenija such as Anja@RGL and Glasbeni utrinki, where her warm, knowledgeable style made her a beloved voice.

She has occasionally appeared on television (including co-hosting the Slovenian pre-selection for Eurovision) and contributed lyrics to other artists.

In recent years she has performed selective Videosex reunion concerts and released new material, proving her voice and appeal remain undiminished.
