Life and career
editPezerović was born on 16 December 2002, in Vorarlberg, Austria, to Serb parents from Novi Sad. She began exploring her interest in music from an early age by playing the piano and guitar.[1] Pezerović graduated from the music school in Dornbirn and often performed at festivals as an opening act.[1][2] By recording and uploading covers to Instagram, she was noticed by Marko Panić Maleni in front of the Belgrade-based digital label Generacija Zed, whom Zera subsequently began collaborating with after she had turned eighteen.[1]
Zera made her recording debut with the self-written single "Do zore", released under Generacija Zed in February 2021.[3] She rose to more significant popularity upon the release of "Baraba" in August 2022. It was followed by "Kalaši" in November, which rose atop of the Billboard's Croatia Songs chart. Zera performed at the 2023 New Year's Eve concert in front of the House of the National Assembly in Belgrade.[4]
