Indira Radić (Serbian Cyrillic: Индира Радић, born 14 June 1966) is a Serbian pop-folk singer. Born in Bosnia, she left for Belgrade, Serbia during the Yugoslav wars and the release of her first album. She has established herself on the music scene of the former Yugoslavia and Bulgaria.
Indira Radić was born as Indira Subotić to Bosnian Serb parents Živko Subotić and Rosa (née Radić) in the village of Dragalovci near the Bosnian town of Doboj. She was named after the Indian Prime Minister Indira Gandhi. Her parents from an early stage noticed her talent for singing, so from a young age Indira took part in many music competitions. After finishing primary school, she enrolled in a medical school in Doboj before working as a nurse for three years in the Mladen Stojanović Hospital in Zagreb. However, she found that her greatest love is music.
In Yugoslavia, there was an organised contest for amateur singers, the final being held in Sarajevo. Radić entered the contest and was expected to win, but the final was cancelled as it coincided with the start of the Bosnian War in springtime 1992. A few months later, Radić contacted the record label Diskos and recorded her first album Nagrada i kazna (Prize and Punishment, 1992) with the band Južni Vetar. After the release of her first album, she moved to Belgrade with her family to build a career. She recorded two more albums with Južni Vetar, Zbog tebe ("Because of You", 1993) and Ugasi me ("Turn Me Off", 1994), before releasing her first solo album Idi iz života moga ("Get Out of My Life", 1995) on the record label PGP-RTS. In 1996, Radić began her three-year stint at ZaM production during which she recorded three albums. First of these was Krug ("Circle"), which elevated her image. It was followed by Izdajnik ("Traitor", 1997) and award-winning Voliš li me ti ("Do You Love Me", 1998), which provided Radić with many successful performances and tours.
