Janja Lončar was born in 1972 in Belgrade, Serbia. She graduated from the Faculty of Dramatic Arts, Department of Sound Design. From the end of high school, she participated in various theatrical events and took her first steps in composing music for film and stage productions.

Over the course of her career, she has participated in a large number of projects as a composer, music producer, sound designer, and live performer.

In addition to her work in film and theater, she has taken part in internationally recognized television productions, most notably as a music producer and music collaborator on Serbia’s Got Talent, produced under license from the globally renowned Fremantle production company.
Her work extends throughout the region, with successful collaborations on films and series in Croatia, Romania, Bulgaria, Slovenia, Bosnia and Herzegovina, and Montenegro. She has also composed the score for a feature-length animated film produced for Thailand, as well as several short films for Germany — demonstrating her ability to adapt her musical voice to diverse cultural and cinematic contexts.

Janja’s music is characterized by its emotional depth and versatility, seamlessly moving between orchestral arrangements, electronic soundscapes, and intimate acoustic textures depending on the needs of each project.
