Elena RisteskaElena Risteska was born in Skopje (27.04.1986.), capital of the Republic of Macedonia (then in Yugoslavia) and showed an interest in music and drawing at an early age. Elena inherited her musical interest from her mother, but also pursued other hobbies and interests.
Following the great success of her debut album, Elena began promoting herself outside of her home. In 2004, she performed at the Golden Stag Festival in Braşov, Romania and in 2005 she performed “Ni na nebo, ni na zemja” (“Neither heaven nor earth”) at the “Suncane Skale” festival in Herceg Novi, Montenegro. Elena’s video began rotating on MTV Adria and her popularity continued to grow.
On March 4, 2006, Elena Risteska won the Fyrom preselection contest for the Eurovision Song Contest with the song “Ninanajna”.
Risteska qualified for the final, and after spending most of the night on the edge of the top ten (which would guarantee automatic final qualification for the country in 2007), eventually finished 12th with 56 points, the best finish for any musician representing Republic of Macedonia in the Eurovision Song Contest.
After her countless hits released in the past year, Elena released her second album, named “192”. The album contains Ninanajna, Esen vo Mene, a version of “Ne Mogu” in her native language, and new material, including “Usni kako temno mastilo”. Her single “192” is currently on rotation on radio stations.
