Teya Dora

Teya Dora is an exceptional artist based in Belgrade, Serbia, whose recent smash single “Džanum" has reached more than 130+ million total streams worldwide. As a little girl, she accompanied her father with her voice on the guitar, discovering Serbian folk music, western rock and pop sounds. This symbiosis is still evident in her today’s work. Modern pop gets combined with R&B vibes, traditional Balkan influences and her native Serbian language.
At the age of 5, she learned to play the piano, took lessons in opera singing and started her music studies. At the age of 16, she took part in an audition at the internationally renowned Berklee College of Music and won a music scholarship. The following year she went to Boston for the scholarship, got to know the American culture and developed her singing and songwriting skills, before recording her first track.
Teya Dora moves a multimillion following worldwide, especially Gen-Z, with her unique signature style. Her songs are distinctive and combine confident strength with melancholic fragility. "At the beginning of a song, there is always a certain feeling", says Teya. The feelings Teya Dora expresses in the song "Džanum" are marked by the sudden death of her father.
”It is about the contrast of good and bad, light and shadow, freedom and captivity."
