Neda Ukraden is a Serbian singer. Her professional career stretches back to 1967. She was born in Glavina Donja, a village near the small Croatian town of Imotski, to Serb parents. She lived in Imotski with her grandparents until the age of two when she relocated to Visegrad, in eastern Bosnia and Herzegovina. When she was in elementary school, her family moved to Sarajevo where she lived until 1992 when the Bosnian War broke out. When the war started, Neda moved to Belgrade, Serbia. Between 1992 and 1996, she rented an apartment in Vienna, Austria. Respecting the wishes of her father, she attended the University of Sarajevo where she completed degrees in Law, Philology, and the English language. It was only at age 17 that she started singing.
