After graduating from high school she continued
her studies at the musical conservatory Giuseppe Tartini
in Trieste/Trst (Italy) which she successfully accomplished
in the autumn 1999, thus becoming "professor for the flute".
Her first attempt at EMA (Slovenian pre-selection for the
ESC) in 1997 wasn't very successful. At the EMA 99 she was
the only serious threat to Darja Svajger's
"For a thousand years"; she even got more calls
in the televote than the actual winner. Her second CD
"Koscek neba" (A piece of heaven) was released in October 1999
and very quickly turned gold. This year Tinkara received 4 Golden
Roosters (Slovenian equivalent to Grammies). Currently she's studying
translating at the Ljubljana University; she's fluent in 6
languages.
