Biography of Miss Sunshine |  |
| Real name / | |
Miss Sunshine is a deity of techno that commands attention while performing. Always had an interest in music, but her passion for it evolved back in 1995, when she started to frequent the underground techno parties. She was perfectly placed to hear Balkan electronic music in its earliest forms.
She began her journey on the radio show “Clubhopping” (together with Loki Masa), the first “on air” electronic music experience in the area at that time and landed a prime residency at the Oxygene club in 1999 which led into a two year residency at Vega club.
Through her DJ sets or her productions on labels like Monocline, FVF, Tic Tac Toe, Lazerslut, Kopfmusik, Swap, Der Hut, Front… Miss Sunshine unifies perceptions of open minded people in her graceful sense for sounds and minimal tones, strengthened with solid techno grooves and the love of challenging music without boundaries.
Keeping along her path in 2000 she appeared on Croatian Annual Music Awards - Black Cat (“Crni Macak”), where she had the opportunity to host the Electronic music Category. In 2002, Miss Sunshine’s music took her to Valkana Beach Festival (Croatia) and Exit Festival (former Yugoslavia). She was also requested to attend the Sunrise Festival (Croatia) and Lady’s Sound Attack (Germany) during the same year.
People's response to the music, their peculiar lives, and exceptional party scenes have inspired Sunshine throughout the time and kept her hooked on the point of it: foster original sounds, mix music that mesmerizes audiences on the dance floor every time she performs, even though every so often her spins leads to the darkest and deepest corners of electronic music.
2006 has been another astonishing busy year for Miss Sunshine taking in venues across Europe. She also joined the Tuborg green DJ Academy as coach, teaching young people the basics in DJ skills, history and equipment. Same year Sunshine meets Marko Moree and together they start a project.
