Early life
Emina Jahović was born on 15 January 1982 in Novi Pazar to a MuslimBosniak family.[5] Her mother Senija who worked as a paediatrician and father Nusret who was a cardiologist.[6] She has two older siblings, including NBA player Mirsad Türkcan.[7][8] Emina lost her father at the age of thirteen. She started attending music school during middle school and took theatre lessons in high school. Jahović eventually received a bachelor's degree in management from the Braća Karić University in Belgrade.
Career
She began her career by competing at regional music festivals and won at the youth festival Zlatna staza in Montenegro with "Samo ti, moja muziko" ("Only You, My Music"). Jahović then rose to prominence upon her debut album Tačka ("Enough") in 2002, which was released under Dino Merlin's record label. Jahović in 2004 joined pop-rock band Hari Mata Hari on their tour across Bosnia and Herzegovina and North America, performing for Yugoslav diaspora. Her sophomore album, Radije ranije ("Rather Sooner"), was released through City Records in 2005. It saw significant success with hit-songs such as "Da l' ona zna" ("Does She Know"). Same year she was also declared the songwriter of the year at the Pjesma Mediterana festival in Budva.
In 2007, Jahović collaborated with Serbian duo Flamingosi on "La Gitana" ("The Gypsy Woman"). The single's accompanying music video was awarded at the Sunčane Skale festival in Montenegro.[9] The following year, she released her first single in English, titled "Exhale",[10] which was completely produced and recorded in New York City under the production wing of Bojan Dugić (aka Bojan "Genius" Dugic), the Recording Academy's Grammy Awards voting member who worked with such best selling artists as Beyoncé, Britney Spears, Jay-Z, and Jennifer Lopez. The maxi single contained remix tracks by DJs, including Elvir Gazić and Levent Gündüz. The tracks "Push It" and "Push It (Remix)" featured Cory Gunz, an American rapper.
On 19 April 2008, the accompanying video for "Exhale" premiered on the MTV Adria show Top 20 which counts down the biggest videos in the localized version of the music and entertainment channel MTV Europe.[11] Emir Khalilzadeh directed the video.[12] Khalilzadeh also directed the music video for Emina's 2009 song "Pile moje" ("My Dear"), which was shot in historical places such as Istanbul High School.
In December 2008, she released her single "Još ti se nadam" ("I'm Still Hoping for You"), a duet with the Serbian singer Saša Kovačević. The song was first presented at the Serbian Radio Festival in Vrnjačka Banja. Jahović said that she had written the lyrics for "Još ti se nadam" after she had broken up[2] with Mustafa Sandal for a short time in 2006. However, its music was credited to the influential Greek recording artist Michalis Hatzigiannis. The single was re-released later on in Emina's 2009 album. The music video for the song was shot on several different locations in Serbia and was considered to be one of the most expensive music videos in Serbian music history.
In 2009, as a special guest star, she performed the song "Pile moje" at Sunčane Skale.[13] Additionally, "Rođeni sa greškom" ("Born With a Mistake"), which is a pop song performed by singers Ana Bebić, Milica Majstorović, and Danijel Pavlović, was written by Jahović in Istanbul, in the studio of her pop star husband Mustafa Sandal who is also a music producer.[14][15][16]
On 21 May 2009, Jahović's third studio album Vila ("Fairy") was released through PGP RTS. She dedicated this album to her late grandfather, Adam. The album was recorded in two years and included songs written and composed by Jahović, except "Ne zaboravi" ("Don't Forget"), a song by Aleksandra Milutinović who also worked on Emina's previous albums, and "Zver" ("Beast"), which was co-written and co-produced by Dino Merlin. The track "Ne zaboravi" featured a back-up vocal by the famous Turkish pop singer İzel. The album also featured a duet with Dino Merlin, "Med" ("Honey"), which is known as the only song Merlin ever sang that he had not written by himself.[17] It is also mentioned by Jahović that the reason why she chose the name Vila for the album is because she thought the title track was one of the best songs she had ever written and that was why she wanted people to pay attention to it.[17]
In 2011, Jahović released two singles, "Gospodine" ("Mister") and "Posle mene" ("After Me"). Both were released by City Records. "Gospodine" was written and composed by Jahović herself. This song was released as a duet with the famous singer Nataša Bekvalac on 8 March, the International Women's Day. "Posle mene" was premiered on 22 July 2011 on Prva Srpska Televizija's famous late-night talk show Veče sa Ivanom Ivanovićem, whereas the other guest of the show was minister Ljajić.[18][19] The music video for the song "Posle mene" was shot in the summer of 2011, in Göcek, Fethiye.[20] The video was directed by Miloš Nadaždin.[21]
On 29 November 2011, she was named Person of the Year by Hello! Srbija[22] and received the award, designed by Karim Rashid, which is also awarded to 23 other celebrities at the event held at the White Palace, a part of Belgrade's Royal Compound.[23] On 16 December 2011, the ceremony aired on RTV Pink.[24]
The song "Broken" that is recorded by the popular Turkish producer and DJ Erdem Kınay with vocals from its co-composer Emina, was released in March 2012, following Emina's Valentine's Day special "Beograd priča" ("Belgrade Is Talking") featuring Dženan Lončarević, which was published on 14 February 2012. The song was featured on the Erdem Kınay's album Proje and was written by the New York-based Turkish-American singer S. Derin Togar. After monitoring the international record market in 2012, the editors of the Eurodanceweb chose Jahović and Erdem Kınay's work "Broken" as the most interesting dance track for Turkey. The selected Turkish entry "Broken" was then voted by a professional jury of disc jockeys, journalists, producers, radio speakers and webmasters of popular websites and music blogs; yet, Belgium won the 2012 Eurodanceweb.[25] At the 2006 Eurodanceweb Awards, Jahović was chosen Bosnia and Herzegovina's singer of the year, with the song "Živeo" ("Cheers"). Collecting a total of 80 points in the international music competition, she placed thirteenth out of 40 countries.[26]
In December 2012, Emina's second Turkish single and first solo single in Turkish,[27] "Kimse Yok Mu?" ("Is There Anyone?"), was recorded by Doğan Music Company.[28] The song was written and composed by Jahović and Mustafa Sandal. The lyrics revolve around Jahović asking a man to go back to her. The Serbian version, "I da mogu" ("Even If I Could"), which peaked at number one in such Southeast European countries as Bulgaria, was also made available in 2012.[29][30] Miloš Nadaždin directed the accompanying music video. Jahović is often referred to as the "Turkish J.Lo" since critics noted costume references and artistic similarities to the work of Jennifer Lopez.[31][32] "I da mogu" was the second best-selling single of Serbia in 2013 and peaked at number two on the "Top 10 singlova" chart of City Records.[33]
As of 2012, due to her association with the record label Croatia Records, Jahović was the first non-Croatian whose works were broadcast on Croatian Music Channel, which is the largest Croatian music channel and broadcasts only Croatian music and music of Croatian production.[34][35]
On 27 February 2013, Jahović won the 3rd Media Awards of OMU for the Best Breakthrough Album.[39][40][41] The 3rd Media Awards of OMU were held at the Atatürk Congress and Culture Center in Samsun.[42] It was the first official music award that Jahović won in Turkey.[43]
In April 2013, she released her single "Nedostaješ" ("You're Missed"). The song was written and composed by Jahović herself. The accompanying music video for the song was directed by Vedad Jašarević.[44][45] Arranged by Seçkin Özer and produced by Samsun Demir, the Turkish version of the song is known as "Yakışmaz" ("Unsuitable").[46] The lyrics to the song were written by Deniz Erten.[47] Released in May 2013 through Doğan Music Company, "Yakışmaz" was Emina's third single in Turkish language.[48] The lyrics of the pop-flamenco song revolve around the theme of love and grief.[49] On 2 June 2013, Jahović performed her song "Nedostaješ" on RTV Pink's VIP Room 2013 at Elite Model Look final in Serbia.[50]
In June 2013, she announced her fourth album with the release of the song "Žena zmaj" ("Dragon Lady").[51] In September, Jahović was announced as the judge and coach on the first season of X Factor Adria alongside Željko Joksimović, Kristina Kovač and Kiki Lesendrić.[52] In October the following year, she released Metamorfoza ("Metamorphosis") under City Records.[53] The album included seven main tracks and five previously released songs as bonus tracks. It was sold in 50,000 units.[54]
On 23 January 2018, Jahović released her fifth studio album Dalje ("Farther") through IDJTunes.[55][56] On the album she collaborated with Darko Dimitrov, who wrote the songs alongside her.[55]Dalje was preceded by three singles in 2017: "Protiv svih" ("Against Everybody"), "Limunada" ("Lemonade") featuring Milica Todorović, and "Karma". The music video for "Limunada" accumulated over 80 million views on YouTube.[57]
A 30-second sample of Emina Jahović's "I da mogu" featuring the chorus sung by Jahović in the range of B2 to C♯, backed by a synth marching beat. The song became an international hit single in southeastern Europe.
The constant theme in Jahović's music and lyrics is love, although she has written on other subjects including grief. Considering her vocal agility and endurance, Emina's voice is likely to be classified as mezzo-soprano with a warm lower register and an agile high register.
