Kezz
Kezz is the stage name of singer-songwriter from Kikinda Tamara Ristić. As we find out, from her early childhood she has been on stage. She was just five when she began to act in the Kikinda Art Theatre, and while she was nine she already had her first musical performance. As an individual and as a part of various musical projects, Tamara has up to now performed in numerous towns across our country, but has also recorded performances in Montenegro, Macedonia, Slovenia, Croatia, Bosnia and Herzegovina, Bulgaria, Italy, Spain, the Czech Republic and Norway.
She was the singer for the Kruševac band ZAA, up to 2011, and that cooperated for several years with the Belgrade band Škank, as well as with DJ MKDSL. “Kezz is my original project which I started last year. The music revolves around modern genres, while the characteristic singing is styled and in some segments inspired by traditional music from the Balkans”, explains the talented Tamara Ristić, whose unusual originals will grow to the hearts of those visitors of this year’s Street Musicians Festival who are into the so called alternative pop.
Above all, you will like her song Moma, which she released by the end of last year, as her first very own single. Interestingly, that song was shortlisted (out of three) on a competition by London’s World Music Network. This year, by the beginning of May, Tamara had an interesting live looping session, recorded in the yard of the studio Terra in Kikinda, on which Moma was performed with two new songs – Nikada mi neće biti dovoljno (It Will Never Be Enough) and Kiša (Rain). As for plans for the future, an EP is in preparation.
