Nevena Božović has won Beovizija and will represent Serbia in Tel Aviv with her song Kruna (Crown). She becomes the country’s first solo artist to represent the country at both Junior Eurovision and now the Eurovision Song Contest. She finished in third place with Piši Mi in Rotterdam in 2007. She also represented Serbia at the 2013 Eurovision Song Contest in Malmö as part of Moje 3. They sang Ljubav Je Svuda but finished 11th in their Semi-Final, narrowly missing out on a place in the Grand Final.

Nevena was born in Kosovska Mitrovica and is 24 years old. She graduated music high school where she studied the piano before enrolling at the Music Academy at the age of 16. This year she specialised in solfeggio at the Faculty of Music of the University of Belgrade. She is professionally committed to music and she is the only participant in the history of the Eurovision Song Contest to represent Serbia both as a child at the Junior Eurovision Song Contest and as an adult as a solo artist. Nevena participated in many children's music festivals and her performances were awarded.
