Croatian pop sensation Nina Badrić recently shared insights into her life and career during an appearance on the "Velika pitanja malih ljudi" radio show. She recalled her lifelong dedication to music, stating, "I had nine years when I enrolled in the 'Zvjezdice' choir, but I knew even earlier that I would be a singer when I grew up." Badrić described her childhood ambition, playfully recounting how she would use a hairbrush as a microphone and even "steal" a singer's microphone at weddings when they took a break.
I had nine years when I enrolled in the 'Zvjezdice' choir, but I knew even earlier that I would be a singer when I grew up.
When asked about her favorite song, she pointed to "Čarobno jutro" (Magical Morning), believing it to be a timeless piece. Despite her life being immersed in music, Badrić admitted to needing moments of silence, revealing she doesn't sing in the shower and sometimes avoids music in the car to decompress. "I'm constantly in the studio, at concerts, my life is marked by music, so sometimes I rest when I can. Crickets are music to me at the seaside," she shared, highlighting her love for the coast and the simple pleasure of doing nothing there.
Maybe 'Čarobno jutro'. I think it's a song that will last forever.
In a lighter moment, Badrić confessed that if she could swap professions for a day, she would choose to be a chef to "always be able to eat delicious food." She also offered a glimpse into her personal style, noting her preference for tracksuits and sneakers in everyday life, though she appreciates the glamour of stage attire. Finally, she gave a peek into her handbag, revealing a typical mix of essentials like a phone and wallet, alongside doggie bags and snacks, humorously describing it as a common "girl thing" filled with "useless things."
You won't believe it, but I never sing in the shower. Sometimes I don't even listen to music when I'm in the car.
