How did you first get into music?

Music started as writing before it became recording. I was always drawn to words, rhythm, and observation — poetry, spoken thoughts, inner dialogue, and movement. YSEEK was born from that space. Not from chasing a music career, but from needing a channel for expression. Over time, that writing evolved into hip-hop poetry with an etno twist, and eventually a label and artistic identity.

Greatest strength / greatest weakness?

My strength is emotional honesty and perspective. I don’t create to fit a scene; I create to translate experience into something people can recognise in themselves.

My weakness is time. I’m building this while being a mother and running other projects, so releases have been slower than my ambition. But that’s changing.

How do you nurture your own creativity?

By stepping away from noise. Movement, dance, long walks, observing people, writing without pressure to publish. Creativity for me grows when I’m not forcing output. In silence mostly.

What is your creative process when making music?

It starts with a sentence, a thought, or a conflict I’m trying to understand. I write first, always. Then the sound comes. Ot the sound comes first and then I am inspired to write. Like in my song Necessity. I build around the message, not the other way around. The production supports the words; the rhythm supports the emotion. It’s closer to storytelling than traditional songwriting.

What is your main inspiration?

Human behaviour. Identity. Attachment to ideas. Buddhism. Modern human beings. The gap between how we present ourselves and who we actually are.

What is your proudest achievement as far as an artist?

Building YSEEK as both an artist identity and an independent label while staying authentic. Releasing music that people don’t just listen to, they reflect on. Or they use it as healing, like in my first song Crack of Integrity. That feedback matters more than numbers. I would like to see a million+ streams, do not get me wrong ha-ha

What are your plans in the coming months?

More consistent releases and visual storytelling. Developing the sound further, filming performance-based content, and positioning me internationally between Croatia and London, where I got very positive feedback on my art. Fourth single is already done. I am inviting more gospel vocal arrangements into my song, together with etno sounds.

Where do you see yourself in 5 years?

As a recognised voice in hip-hop poetry, alternative spoken music, with a body of work that lives beyond singles, I would like to lead and create live performances, bringing theatre and music together in a new way, collaborations, visual projects, and a stronger label platform supporting other artists with a similar mindset. I definitely see myself dancing my heart out!
