Vanna, pravog imena Ivana Vrdoljak, rođena je u Koprivnici, gdje je već kao djevojčica pokazala izniman glazbeni talent. Nakon preseljenja u Zagreb, započinje profesionalni glazbeni put kroz suradnju s Ilanom Kabiljom, a potom i kao članica grupe Electro Team (ET), s kojom 1990-ih postiže golem uspjeh hitovima poput “Molitva za mir” i “Tek je 12 sati”.
Nakon izlaska iz ET-a 1998., Vanna započinje solo karijeru i ubrzo se etablira kao jedna od najjačih ženskih vokala u Hrvatskoj. Njezini albumi poput “Ispod istog neba”, “Hrabra kao prije” i “Ledeno doba” donose brojne hitove i glazbene nagrade, uključujući Porine. Poseban trenutak karijere bio je nastup na Eurosongu 2001. s pjesmom “Strings of My Heart”, gdje je osvojila 10. mjesto.
Tijekom više od tri desetljeća karijere, Vanna je ostala prepoznatljiva po emotivnim izvedbama i snažnoj autorskoj noti. Uz brojne hit-singlove, koncerte i suradnje, izdala je i albume “Izmiješane boje” (2019.) i “Dan po dan” (2024.), koji potvrđuju njezinu trajnu prisutnost na glazbenoj sceni i popularnost među publikom svih generacija.

Ivana Vrdoljak, better known as Vanna, was born in Koprivnica. The native town was where she first showed her exceptional talent for music, but her professional career in music began after moving to the capital Zagreb. Her first musical collaboration was with Ilan Kabiljo, but breakthrough came after she joined the band ET (Electro Team), who had several hit songs in the 1990s (“Molitva za mir”, “Tek je 12 sati”…).
Vanna left ET in 1998 to launch a solo career, and in a short period became one of the leading female vocalists in Croatia. Her albums Ispod istog neba, Hrabra kao prije, and Ledeno doba feature numerous hits, and they earned several music awards, including the country’s most prestigious award Porin. A special moment in her career came in 2001 with the Eurovision Song Contest performance of “Strings of My Heart”, which finished 10th.
Emotion-driven performances and strong authorship have been Vanna’s signature during a career that has lasted more than 30 years. It includes many singles from the top of the charts, numerous concerts, collaborations, and two albums with her own songs: Izmiješane boje (2019), and Dan po dan (2024), all of which are a testimony to her continuing strong presence on the local music scene and popularity across generations.
