Barbara Tešija is a singer-songwriter and producer from Croatia who has been passionate about music from a young age. She began her musical journey by joining the elementary school choir and continued to develop her skills by becoming a member of the children's choir "Krijesnice" and the girls' choir "Allegro" under the guidance of Jelena Burić and Marijana Ilić. Barbara's dedication to her craft led her to pursue further musical education at the Rock Academy, where she honed her skills in popular and jazz music under the tutelage of Professor Maja Jakoliš. Her inspirations are Mariah Carey, Celine Dion, and Whitney Houston, three divas who have left an indelible mark on the music industry. While honing her skills as a performer and songwriter, Barbara released her first song "Hypnotized", which entered the semifinals of the Romanian selection for Eurovision. The lyrics of "Hypnotized" were born from Barbara's personal vision and experience of love, and intertwined with her own personality. She co-composed the song with renowned Croatian composer Marko Tomasović, and arranged and mastered it with Aleksandar Valenčić, a 6-time Eurovision participant. To bring her artistic vision to life, Barbara took on multiple roles in the creation of the song's music video: as a creative director, executive producer, and scenarist. She meticulously crafted stunning visuals that complement the song’s vibe and dynamic dance choreography, which can be watched via this link: http://bit.ly/HypnotizedMusicVideo.
