Ivana was raised in Vienna and has Serbian roots. In Highschool she discovered the art of acting, fascinated by the possibility of creating new worlds on stage. Above all, she wants to depict a world that is free from prejudice and restrictions of any kind. She wants to encourage her audience to pursue their dreams and defy "realism".

When she's not on stage or in front of the camera, she dances in studios, in front of her mirror, at Balkan weddings, or in the rain. She sings out of passion, but has already been reported for "singing too badly". It now hangs framed above her piano.

She can identify with the following terms: fabulous, down-to-earth, free, fun, delusional

This song motivates her before auditions: Corinne Bailey Rae - Put Your Records On
