Nikolija Jovanović (, born on 19 October 1989), professionally known just as Nikolija, is a Serbian R&B/Hip hop recording artist, dancer and photo model. Known for her drastic changes in stage appearance and controversial music, Nikolija is currently one of the most popular singers in Serbia and the region.
Her desire to become a singer emerged mainly because of her mother Vesna Zmijanac, who is a popular folk singer in the Balkan region. She started her music career in 2011 in Greece as a club dancer and master of ceremonies. Nikolija also recorded her first song there, but failed to achieve success. After that, she moved to Serbia to restart her career in 2013 with R&B and rap songs which had attention-grabbing and controversial lyrics. Actually, she brought that kind of music to west Balkans. After successful singles like Kako posle mene, Alkohola litar and Opasna igra Nikolija gained enormous popularity in the region. Additionally, her music video for Opasna igra was the second most watched video in Serbia for 2015. She is currently working on her long-awaited debut album.
She has a university degree and speaks three foreign languages ( Greek, English, and French). Nikolija has been in a relationship with singer Relja Popović, former member of Elitni Odredi band, since 2014 and got pregnant with him. Unfortunately, she lost their baby in the third month of pregnancy.
