Tatjana Simic was born June 9, 1963. Though she was raised in Zagreb, Croatia for the majority of her youth, she, along with her mother and sister, moved to Rotterdam, Netherlands in 1979. She got a job working in the Sports and Recreation department at Rotterdam City Hall. But Tatjana was easily bored with the day-to-day routine of life at home, so she decided to enter a modeling contest that was held by a Dutch magazine. As was no surprise, Tatjana won, snatching up an eight-day shoot in Spain. She worked for several major magazines in the Netherlands and was also featured in several commercials. Her first major acting job came when she appeared in the low-budget European film, Flodder, which went on to spawn two sequels. In 1987, Tatjana turned to the music scene and released her first single, "Baby Love." The single was followed by the top ten hit, "Chica Cubana," and shortly thereafter she released her first, full-length album in Europe, which contained the tracks "Feel Good" and "Can't Take My Eyes Off Of You." She went to Miami in 1993 to shoot a video for "Feel Good," which received a lot of radio play and airtime. In addition, Tatjana appeared in the 1990 B-movie My Blue Heaven and made a video called "Tatjana Goes [To] Miami." Tatjana is considered one of Croatia's hottest stars, and she is keeping busy with modeling and a variety of projects in Europe.
