Buba Miranović

Buba Miranović, born on 13 October 1966 in Belgrade, is a Serbian folk and pop-folk singer and one of the best-known faces of the 1990s, when her purple hair was her trademark. She grew up in a Belgrade family of a professor and a medical worker, went to a medical school and the music school Kosta Manojlović, and studied at the Law Faculty in Belgrade.

She married at nineteen and lived in Toronto for five years. Back in Belgrade in 1987 she worked as a model, and in 1989 she recorded her first album with Dragan Aleksandrić; its song "Ja odlazim" got noticed after she sang it on the television show Disko-Fulk. The album Srećo moja, mazo moja followed in 1990.

Her move to the label ZaM brought the album Šu, šu and wider fame, with "Dođi da se zezamo" and the title song, a cover of "Šu, šu, Šumadijo" by Olivera Katarina. Two more ZaM albums gave her "Noćas mi treba muško", "Prodali me prijatelji", whose video was filmed at Đavolja varoš, and "Otrovna jabuka".

Her most successful album, Zemlja se okreće (PGP RTS, 1996), was made with Marina Tucaković and Aleksandar Milić Mili and brought "Zemlja se okreće", "Ženska pamet" and "Deluješ opasno". Kockar (1998) was a success too, and Devet godina (2000), Usne od meda (2001), Ciganka (2004) and Idi iz moje postelje (2007) added songs such as "Crni petak", "Usne od meda", "Ironija", "Crna dama" and "Godino".

Buba Miranović stepped back from the media in 2008 and returned in 2011 with the single "Dok sam živa", followed by "Kralj kafane" (2014) and "Šta je život" (2018). She also sang backing vocals for Mira Škorić and Ana Bekuta, Aca Lukas covered her "Jagnje moje", and she had a part in the 1992 film Dama koja ubija.
