Career
2006-2010: Career beginnings
At 18 years old, in 2009 Ilić recorded her first single "Bidermajer" and soon after that her first studio album Misterija. Both the single and the album, as well as the music video, were full of morbidities that the audience did not understand in the right way at the time.
The album Misterija was released in March 2010 by the publishing house FM Sound Production; 26,000 copies were printed.
2010-2011: Two hit singles and second studio album
In June 2010, Ilić recorded the summer single "Šefica podzemlja", which was her biggest hit in her career. In November of the same year, she released the single "Nisam laka, maco!".
The album Živim na ivici was released in May 2011 and is considered Ilić's most successful project. It was the first visual album in the Balkans. High-budget videos were recorded, which were declared the best and most expensive videos ever in this region.
2012-2013: Hit single and third studio album
In 2012, Ilić recorded the hit single "Noć je zvezdana", which was also recorded with a high-budget music video. Ilić’s third and last studio album, Gladna tvoje ljubavi was released in July 2013, in which Dunja said goodbye to her fans.
