Early life

[edit]

Zorica Brunclik was born on 29 June 1955 in Belgrade, Yugoslavia to a Serb mother and Czech-Greek father.[2] Her parents divorced during her early years. She grew up between Smederevo and Požarevac. According to Brunclik, her mother, who predominately raised her and her three brothers, was financially struggling living off of one paycheck.[3][4]

Brunclik graduated from the Faculty of Economics at the University of Niš.[5]

Career

[edit]

In 1969, Brunclik was introduced to singing by folk singer Bora Spužić Kvaka.[2][3] After several years of performing as a working singer, with the help from songwriter Novica Urošević she released her first single "Ne daj da nas rastave" in 1974 under PGP-RTB. Two years later, Brunclik released her debut studio album. Over the years, she has collectively released 27 albums. Having sold 15 million records in total, she is recognized as one of the commercially most successful Serbian folk singers of all time.[6][7] Some of her well-known songs include: "A tebe nema" (1982), "Avlije, avlije" (1991), "Kada bi me pitali", "Tamo gde si ti", "Što se mala uobrazi" (1995), "Dunjo mirisna" (1997), "Otkopčano jeleče" (1998) and "Ne dam ovo malo duše" (2002). Additionally, Brunclik has received numerous accolades, including the National Music Artist of Serbia award from the Union of Music Artists of Serbia (SEMUS) in May 2021.[8]

On 11 November 2014, Brunclik celebrated forty years of her career with a solo concert in the Belgrade Arena, titled Sve je ljubav (Everything is Love). The live show featured guest performances from more than thirty regional musicians, including: Lepa Brena, Ceca, Dragana Mirković, Vesna Zmijanac, Saša Matić, Aca Lukas, Željko Joksimović, Sinan Sakić, Ana Bekuta and Aco Pejović.[9] On 28 June 2022, she held a concert in the Tašmajdan Center to celebrate close to fifty years of work.[10] Footage from the concert aired on the Radio Television of Serbia on January 1 the following year.[11]

Outside of her career in music, she starred in the movies Kakav deda takav unuk (1983) and Špijun na štiklama (1988). Between March and June 2010, Brunclik participated on the second season of the reality television show Farma, where she placed 6th.[12] She also served as a judge on the singing competitions Zvezde Granda (2013-2015) and Pinkove Zvezde (2016-2017).[13]

Brunclik was married four times. Since 1985, she has been married to Serbian accordion player and music director, Miroljub Aranđelović Kemiš. Brunclik has three daughters and one son.[14][15]
