Artists

Ana Ćurčin is a singer-songwriter whose music blends intimacy and strength, quiet lyricism with rhythmic intensity. Her sound combines indie rock and folk, with influences of blues and ambient music. In 2016, she released her debut studio album Sketches of Belonging. After performing at Eurosonic Noorderslag in the Netherlands in 2018, she formed the band Ana & The Changes with Goran Antović (keyboards), Marko Cvetković (bass), and Marko Benini (drums). Together, they released the album Differences and the single Tu, which earned the Milan Mladenović Award. This was followed by an EP in her native language, Susret (2023), and the band’s third studio album Sabiranje (2025). Ana composes and performs music for theater and film, and her arrangements of traditional songs like Lastavice, lasto and Oj, Savice have attracted wide regional acclaim. With the support of SOKOJ, she released a compilation of applied music titled Scene. She has performed live across Serbia, the region, and Europe. Formed in 2020, the Ana Ćurčin Trio, also known as Tri Lepe – with Milena Jančurić on flute and Ana Protulipac on bass and backing vocals – has since been performing acoustic, chamber-style concerts throughout the region.

Ana Protulipac is a bassist, psychologist, and psychotherapist. She began her music career performing with various Serbian bands and artists (IrieFM, Luka Rajić, Beyoncé Tribute Band, Ana Ćurčin / Ana & The Changes, Katarina Pejak, Poinciana Feels). Although known for her work on bass, she has maintained a strong passion for singing, which she developed while studying jazz vocals in secondary music school. Her debut original song Svetla served as a preview for her first EP Samo Dišem, created in collaboration with long-time musical friends and colleagues.

Milena Jančurić earned her degree in Flute Performance from the Faculty of Music in Belgrade in 2010, and went on to graduate from the prestigious Berklee College of Music in 2013. Over the course of her career, she has worked with numerous acclaimed musicians across genres, from classical to jazz and free improvisation. Her extensive artistic journey includes performances with diverse ensembles. In 2021, she released her debut album Shapes and Stories with A.MA Records.
