Edita Aradinovic

Edita Aradinovic (born 30 June 1993), often simply known as Edita, is a Serbian singer. She rose to fame as the lead vocalist of the pop-folk girl band Ministarke in 2013, before pursuing a solo career five years later. Aradinovic was born and raised in Belgrade to Albanian parents. Her father hails from Medvedja, while her mother Florija hails from Suva Reka. She noted Albanian as her mother language. Her older sister Indira Aradinovic, better known as Indy, is also a well-known turbo-folk singer. Following an unsuccessful audition for the televised singing competition Zvezde Granda (2004), Edita released her debut song "Overila" in 2012, which was noted for the guest appearance of Shakira's half-brother, Robin Mebarak, in the music video. She then became a lead singer of the girl group Ministarke in 2013. The group broke through after releasing duets "Poplava" with Aco Pejovic, "Uno Momento" with Severina Kojic and "Zver" with Sasa Matic. In 2015, Ministarke released their debut album titled Kiseonik. In 2017, Edita appeared on the fourth season of the reality talent show Tvoje lice zvuci poznato (2013), finishing in the third place. At the beginning of the following year, Edita left Ministarke to pursue a solo career. She joined IDJTunes and released a duet with Aco Pejovic, titled "Blud i nemoral", on 10 October. On 7 May 2019 she released her solo single "Magnum", followed up by "Zivotinje" on 30 July. In October, she returned for the fifth season of Tvoje lice zvuci poznato (2013). Her imitation of Greek singer Eleni Foureira in the first episode caught attention of Foureira herself, who praised it on Instagram. Edita finished her 2019 by releasing a collaboration with Sunaj Ibraimovic, a cover of "Jugoslovenka" by Lepa Brena. In August 2020, she released a cover of "Kokuzna vremena" by Dino Merlin as part of Zvezde pevaju zvezde Xtra project by Radio S.
