Alka Vuica (pronounced [âːlka ʋûitsa]; born 8 June 1961) is a Croatian singer, lyricist and TV presenter.[1]
Vuica is most notable for her 1980s and early 1990s songwriting work for popular Yugoslav musical acts such as Željko Bebek,[2] Oliver Mandić (hit song "Dođe mi da vrisnem tvoje ime"),[3] Neki to vole vruće (hit "California"),[4] Denis & Denis (hit "Ja sam lažljiva"),[5] Boris Novković (most of the Jači od sudbine album),[6] Josipa Lisac (hits "Gdje Dunav ljubi nebo" and "Danas sam luda"),[7] Vlado Kalember (hit "Vino na usnama"),[8] Viktorija,[9] and Tajči (hits "Hajde da ludujemo" and "Moj mali je opasan").[10]
In 1994, after a decade of writing songs for other performers, Vuica started a solo singing career with a mixture of pop and commercial Croatian-Balkan folk.[11] Her biggest hits are 1994's "Laži me" and 1999's "Varalica".
