Anđela Ignjatović (Serbian Cyrillic: Анђела Игњатовић; born 19 May 2001), professionally known as Breskvica (Serbian Cyrillic: Бресквица, pronounced [brêskvitsa], lit. 'Little Peach'), is a Serbian singer. She debuted in 2019 with the single "Utopia" and subsequently rose to further popularity by collaborating with her then-boyfriend, Voyage. Following their breakup, Breskvica pursued a solo career with the single "Srećan put" in 2021. She is known for performing both urban and folk-influenced popular music.
Life and career
[edit]Ignjatović was born on 19 May 2001 in Belgrade.[1] She plays the piano and guitar.[2] She holds dual Serbian and Croatian citizenships.[citation needed]
Breskvica made her recording debut with the single "Utopia", released on August 29, 2019 under Generacija Zed. She rose to prominence by collaborating with her then-boyfriend, Voyage, between 2019 and 2021.[3] The couple also won the YouTube Star Award at the 2020 Music Awards Ceremony.[4]
Following their breakup, Breskvica released her first solo single, "Srećan put", in July 2021.[5] She continued releasing commercially successful standalone singles in the following years, including her pop-folk collaboration "Sava i Dunav" (2022) with Henny, which would become one of her biggest hits with over 80 million views on YouTube. Her duet with Teodora Džehverović, titled "Drift", peaked atop of the Billboard Croatia Songs chart in March 2023.[6] In June 2023, Breskvica headlined the Belgrade Music Week Festival.[7] For a portion of her performance she went away from her usual image to sing popular traditional Serbian folk songs while dressed up in the national costume.[8]
Breskvica competed in Serbia's national selection festival for the Eurovision Song Contest 2024, called Pesma za Evroviziju '24, with the song "Gnezdo orlovo".[9] She finished as the runner-up by coming first in the televote with over 45,000 votes and 7th in the jury vote.[10] Breskvica's ethnically infused entry and performance saw overwhelming support from the nationalists and traditionalists, who also heavily disapproved the winner, Teya Dora, and her song "Ramonda", despite it also carrying patriotic motives.[11] In May 2024, it was announced that Breskvica would perform at her first solo concert at the Tašmajdan Center in Belgrade on 6 September.[12] However, when asked about it in July, she stated that the concert was a "disinformation", despite the fact that there had been promotional billboards and that the tickets had been on sale. Subsequently, it was announced by the organizers that the concert was officially cancelled and that the purchased tickets would be refunded.[13]
Personal life
[edit]Ignjatović was in a relationship with fellow musician Voyage. The couple broke up in January 2021 after two years of dating.[14] In July 2021, it was revealed that Ignjatović started dating Nemanja Stanisavljević who works as a policeman and a bodyguard.[15][16]
