## Early life and education[edit]

Ana Rich was born in Belgrade, at fifteen years of age she started first steps of Jazz dance. As she was very talented she danced in famous dance school Trik FX,[1] with whom she had many public appearances.

Ana attended Dental school in Belgrade, and after graduated in Tourism.[2] During the fourth quarter of 2020, she started attending Faculty of law[3] at University of Priština.

## Career[edit]

She released her first single "Duplo golo"[4][5] in 2010. During 2011, she became part of Funky G, popular Serbian dance music group, alongside Gagi Đogani,[6] who is the leader of the group, and Marija Mijanović,[7] another singer.

After one year of cooperation, five singles, she left Funky G at the end of 2012 and continued her career as a solo singer. The main reason for the termination of cooperation with Funky G was her different view of the band's future, some disagreements with the band leader Gagi Đogani, as well as Ana's wish for independent advancement.[8][9]

Ana released new single "Daj mi se"[10] in 2013.

She take a part in the Balkan famous singing competition Zvezde Granda in 2018.[11] In the second round she sang two songs, "Rukuju se, rukuju" by former Yugoslav pop rock band Zana and "Da li si to ti" by Ana Kokić.[12] Although she failed to qualify for the third round of competition, she caused a lot of sympathy and shock of the audience and jury,[13] who compared her to the famous Serbian singer and media personality Jelena Karleuša because of her fashion style during the competition.
