Her father Velko Todevski is a professor in a music school and her mum Branka Todevska an opera singer.

However, her real music career started in 2003 when on the famous Montenegrian festival Suncane Skale, she interpreted her hit "1003" (in English: One thousand and three, Serbian: Хиљаду и три, Macedonian: Илјада и три), where she place on the 2nd place.
