Meri Andraković Interview: “The most important thing is to always listen to yourself.”
Our next interview ahead of the second Super Saturday features Meri Andraković from the Croatian national final Dora.
Meri is no stranger to competitions, having participated in the first season of RTL Televizija’s singing competition Zvjezdice where she would make it to the top six overall. After the show concluded, she released her first single “Sve sam tebi oprostila ja” and would then sign a record label deal with Croatia Records. In December of 2020 she released her first album Voli which peaked at number 15 on the Croatian charts.
