Introducing Danaja Grebenc from Slovenia who earned the highest number of points in her age group as well as becoming OVERALL CHAMPION at the 2021 World Cup on the Accordion Virtual Polka Championship held in Toronto, Canada.
Danaja started her musical career at the tender age of 6, when she was still in kindergarten and has been playing the accordion for 9 years. Her musical mentor/teacher is Klemen Rošer from the Rošer Music School. She has been performing at various events and concerts for a few years and from 2016 onwards, she has participated in various competitions in Slovenia and abroad with great success.
Danaja released her first CD in 2019, recorded two videos (one solo and one with fellow musician Gašper Štajnar) and organized her first musical concert with the help of her teacher Klemen Rošer. In addition to accordion she plays the piano and occasionally performs solo singing. Danaja hopes that music will accompany her throughout her life and that the accordion will be her faithful friend for a very long time.
What an amazing young talent. Congratulations to Champion Danaja on the well deserved award!
