[edit] Biography
Born on 23 April 1981 in Zvornik, SFRY, now Republika Srpska, Bosnia and Herzegovina, to a Bosnian Serb father, Milorad, and a Bosnian Muslim mother, Ibrima, who also lives with Seka in Serbia. She has a younger brother, Nedžad. Her father worked as a machinist and her mother was an employee at the Drina football club. Her parents later divorced and she continued living with her mother. When the civil war in Bosnia broke out, Seka and her family moved to Banja Koviljača, Serbia and later Šabac. She started out singing Ceca's songs in cafés before she became famous. She moved to Switzerland for 2 years to boost her career in clubs and discothèques. After Switzerland she moved to Bijeljina and performed at a festival in Ćuprija, where she met her first husband. After the divorce, she met boyfriend and manager Zoran Kovačević . In the beginning, as a folk-diaspora singer, she had difficulty finding gigs around the EU countries, because of her Bosnian-Serbian background. Seka currently performes all around the EU.
Seka played a part in the Serbian movie "We Are Not Angels 3" (Serbian: Ми нисмо анђели 3, Mi Nismo Anđeli 3) as "Smokvica", where she played the girlfriend of a pop-folk star.
After the 2002 Music Festival in the town of Ćuprija, Serbia, which was her first major public appearance as singer, she has continued living and working in Serbia together with her manager/producer Kovačević and her Chihuahua "Cezar".
Seka has her own clothing line, called "Rich Bitch", released at the same time as her third album Dođi i uzmi me. Her second clothing line is called "Queen" after her fourth album Kraljica which was released in the Fall of 2007. She broke up with her boyfriend and manager of 5 years - Zoran. Seka and Zoran have both confirmed in interviews that this it true, but he will continue to be her manager and friend. Seka has found a new boyfriend, Mladen Radulović and has recently moved out of her previous home in Sremska Mitrovica, and bought herself a new flat in Belgrade, which she was busy redecorating for a while. In 2009 she was engaged to Veljko Piljikić, and they were married at the end of 2010.[2]
