Neisha was born in 1982 as a 4th child into a big 8 member family, which was very musically oriented and was a very kind and stimulative environment to raise and develop her music talent. She began with piano lessons at the age of 5, finished primary music school, graduated at the Music grammar school (2 departments: piano and theory-composing) in Ljubljana
At this moment, she is near the completion of her academic studies at the Academy for music in Ljubljana (also 2 departments: composing and piano).
She has received many awards in piano and solfeggio competitions, special awards as a cultural worker and specially for being the first female composer in history of Middle Music School Ljubljana officially representing her own compositions at such an early age.
During all these years she kept her individualism in her approach to composing as shown in her works for many various contexts as well as using many different music styles and techniques. On one side she writes for big bands and symphonic orchestras and chamber music as a skilled composer and arranger, but on the other side she's very active as a studio musician, pianist, vocalist, keyboard player-programmer and co-producer. Working like that for quite many years now, she found out that the best way to express herself is through doing her own music, being author and performer, singing and playing piano in a pop-soul-light jazzy manner which still contains many progressive elements and gives her a lot of space to create her own sound and put out her message.
As she was offered a contract at the Nika records label, things moved on really fast and she released her debut album-Neisha in Autumn 2005.
Album was and still is, a huge success in the Slovenian market. It was rated with highest marks by all major music critics and magazines. Work on new English material is currently in process.
