Ines Trickovic is a jazz singer, clown, cabaret artist and as she would say, an explorer. Born in Dubrovnik, Croatia. Her musical journey began in an unconventional way. Growing up in a pitoresque paradise that over night became a war wrecked city, heavily devastated during bombings in 1991-1995, she learned music and jazz by listening to Chet Baker, Miles Davis, John Coltrane, Tom Jobim, Ella Fitzgerald and Billie Holiday. Until her sexteeneth year she learned to sing over 500 jazz and bossanova standards dreaming one day she will perform them in front of a live audience. Two years later her dream started to become reality as she actively started performing.
Without having a day of music school, thisself-taught vocalist became one of the most respected jazz singers in Croatia and now expanding her work aroung the world. In her career, so far, she played over 3000 concerts and collaborated with various artists like Joe Pandur, JaarmoSaari, Aaron Goldberg, Mikael Jacobsson, Kruno Levacic, Luka Zuzic, Eddie Luis, The Jewsers, Mario Igrec and many more.
