JELENA OBERMAN

Jelena Oberman is an independent musician from Zaprešić, Croatia. Until recently, she was performing under the stage name Job, but now she performs under her full name. Jelena plays around, experiments with music, and collaborates with different musicians and her music cannot be classified into just one, specific genre.

“Some people are gender fluid, I’m genre-fluid”, she says. She has been actively involved in music since she was 11 years old. After a long break from working as a journalist, she returned to music two years ago when she began writing her own songs. During that period, she wrote around a hundred songs and instrumentals. In the past year, she started to engage in production. A few women in Croatia are involved in music production, so Jelena’s appearance in this area is more of an exception than a rule.
