That day, Jana and her cousin met up with him near the Grand Hotel and struck up a record deal. Not long after, Ivan traveled to Priština to meet with Jana. She asked for Jana to come to her table and talk and after the conversation, she recommended Jana to friend, Ivan Todorović (Jana's future husband) who owned a discothèque and was in need of a live band. As Živković was preparing for her concert, she overheard Todorović singing and was left 'breathless'. In 1997, she met singer Marina Živković in Kosovska Mitrovica, a meeting which kick-started her career. She went back to performing in kafanas throughout Kosovo, then took a short break from singing due to the disappointment of her last album, working as a music educator. During dinner, she took the microphone, got a chair, and, being shy, turned her back against the audience and started singing "Što me pitaš" ( Why Are You Asking Me) by Šemsa Suljaković to roaring applause.Īfter finishing the Stevan Mokranjac music academy in her hometown, she recorded an album in 1992 that sold very few copies and flopped. She had worn a white overcoat and pink hat. Her career started at the age of fourteen, in 1988, when she visited a well-known kafana in the town of Obilić one night with her parents and brother (who played the accordion). Jana was born in Pristina on Maand grew up in the village of Babin Most, near the town of Obilić, SFR Yugoslavia.
