In the following years, she had attended at the same time secondary music school and regular high school. She graduated from high school as a valedictorian and is now an excellent student in the third year of the Faculty of Pharmacy.

Chosen from YouTube videos

In this year’s competition to choose the Serbian representative at the Eurovision Song Contest 2011, on the national television (RTS) show, Nina sang a Kristina Kovač composition. It is interesting that Kristina chose her to perform the song Čaroban at the last moment. She watched her videos on YouTube, decided to call her to make a test recording and had right away understood that Nina was the best solution for the song. With her specific interpretation, voice quality, young energy and charm, Nina has captivated not only Kristina, but also a wide TV audience. Even though this was her first appearance at this kind of festival, she won a convincing victory and therefore earned the right to represent Serbia in Germany.

Nina's musical influences are Muse and Duffy as well as other musicians of pop and alternative genres.
