Dzenita Zekic (born 31 January 1987), known by the stage name Dzeny, is a Bosnian R&B/Pop singer-songwriter.

Recent annotations: Increased her popularity as a public figure after being one of 11 finalist, out of 11 000 applicants, of the 6th season of the Bosnian version of American Idol called "Zvijezda mozes biti ti".

She spent her childhood in Dubrovnik, Croatia and Gacko, Bosnia, until she was 5. In 1993 she and her family were forced to leave her home and move to Sweden, due to the Bosnian War '92-'93. Going through the musical midschool, she learned to play the drums, piano, guitar and some other musical instruments. Later on, she studied Systems Science at the University. She started singing at a very young age, this was when she also became familiar with diverse music recording programmes and started to learn about the recording and mastering processes.

Dzeny is one among a handful of R&B/Pop singers in Bosnia, headed for a new musical direction within her genre, in which an inspiration of the Bosnian sound and style is included. Dzeny is also known to be a philanthropy, where she also was nominated as the Philanthropist of the Year in 2014, by the Bosnian foundation Mozaik.ba, along with 16 other companies and 20 other people. By now, Dzeny has already had the opportunity to work with several big names, in both Bosnia and in Sweden, such as Fahrudin Pecikoza and Mahir Sarihodzic, with whom she recorded her single and video Kad Zvona Zazvone. This single managed to reach several Bosnian music channels, radio stations, news papers as well as making it to #6 on the one of Bosnias top lists (where she stayed for several weeks), which also was published in the biggest news paper in Bosnia - Dnevni avaz, avaz express magazine, one of the most sold Bosnian newspapers. Her songs were also seen as #1 on other sites such as ubetoo.com, who also published an interview about Dzeny, as their first success story, calling it Passion! And lots of time, nerves and effort
