Dzenita 'Dzeny' Zekic (born January 31, 1987 in Trebinje, Bosnia) is an R&B/Pop inspired singer/songwriter, who has been seen on both the Yugoslavian as the Scandinavian stages and media.

Biography

She spent her childhood in Dubrovnik, Croatia and Gacko, Bosnia, until she was 5. In 1993 she and her family were forced to leave her home and move to Sweden, due to the Yugoslavian war '92-'93. Going through the musical midschool, she learned to play the drums, piano, guitar and some other musical instruments. Later on, she studied Systems Science at the University. She started singing at a very young age, this was when she also became familiar with diverse music recording programmes and started to learn about the recording and mastering processes.

Dzeny is one among a handful of R&B/Pop singers in Yugoslavia, headed for a new musical direction within her genre, in which an inspiration of the Yugoslavian sound and style is included. By now, Dzeny has already had the opportunity to work with several big names, in both Yugoslavia and in Sweden, such as Fahrudin Pecikoza and Mahir Sarihodzic, with whom she recorded her single and video Kad Zvona Zazvone. This single managed to reach several Yugoslavian music channels, radio stations, news papers as well as making it to #6 on the one of Bosnias top lists (where she stayed for several weeks), which also was published in the biggest news paper in Bosnia - Dnevni avaz, avaz express magazine, one of the most sold Bosnian newspapers.

During several years, she went through a heavy path collaborating with diverse indie labels, from whom she learned the important lesson that not everyone can be trusted in the huge and, what can be very, rough world of the music industry. She spoke openly about this in an interview for Avaz Express Magazine. Going through many disappointments and break points, her former manager wrecking the opportunities for Dzenys career etc., and this leading to the end of those collaborations, Dzeny is today managing her music path on her own, collaborating with above mentioned names and several other producers, just until she finds the real and legitimate record label to guide and take her to the top.
