Career

Sara Jo’s breakthrough came in 2012 as a contestant on Prvi glas Srbije, where her fierce performances earned her third place and praise from Cosmopolitan Serbia as a “new energy on the music scene.”

In 2013, she joined Moje 3 with fellow finalists Nevena Božović and Mirna Radulović, winning Serbia’s national selection for Eurovision with “Ljubav je svuda.”

The group placed 11th in the semi-final, missing the grand final, and received the Barbara Dex Award for worst-dressed act. Moje 3 disbanded soon after, and Sara pursued a solo career, releasing the duet “Ujutru” with Marko Mandić in June 2013.

Her official solo debut, “Ko je ovde ko” (2014), under IDJTunes, marked her entry into pop and R&B, followed by covers like “Provokacija” for Little Buddho (2014) and “Troje” for The Samurai in Autumn (2016) with Mandić.

In 2017, she signed with Bassivity Digital, releasing the hit “Nemam vremena za to,” which amassed over 10 million YouTube views.

Subsequent singles like “Lava” (2018), “Bez sna” (2019), and “Mili mili” (2019) solidified her mainstream success, blending hip-hop and electropop. She also released “Samo ti” (2017) for Tuborg GreenFest, sampling Major Lazer’s “Tuborg Beat.”

In 2022, Sara competed in Pesma za Evroviziju with “Muškarčina,” finishing second to Konstrakta’s “In Corpore Sano,” earning significant attention for her bold stage presence.

Her debut album, Bez kontrole (2023), featured singles “Divlja” (2021) and “Zar ne” (2022), showcasing her evolution as a songwriter.

In October 2023, she held her first solo concert at Belgrade’s Merkator Center, a milestone celebrated for its energy and charisma.

Recent singles like “Sandra Meljničenko,” “Sudar,” and “U Glavi” have kept her atop Serbian charts, with her music videos gaining millions of views.

Sara also ventured into acting, appearing in Sinđelići (2019), and performed at Belgrade’s 2022 New Year’s Eve celebration alongside Marija Šerifović and Jelena Karleuša.

In 2025, she was nominated for a regional MAC music award, reflecting her growing influence.
