True Istina is an eclectic singer-songwriter whose name means “True Truth” — a perfect reflection of her mission to create confidence and connection through honest music. A veteran performer since age two, she began writing songs as a cathartic outlet to process pain, bullying, and anxiety, turning her deepest feelings into relatable art.

Her music blends acoustic, pop, and alternative styles, shedding light on the belief that everyone’s feelings are valid and meaningful. From early harmonies learned in her mother’s classes to winning gold and silver at The World Championship of Performing Arts, True Istina’s journey has always centered around sharing her truth.

Her self-titled debut album “True Istina” and singles like For Fun, Nu Life, Walkin the Line, and The Word Is have gathered thousands of views and streams, connecting listeners worldwide. She has graced stages like the House of Blues and the Celebrity Center, delivering performances filled with soulful optimism and a message of healing.

Driven by her desire to help people feel seen, understood, and strong, True Istina aims to keep releasing authentic music, perform globally — especially in Croatia — and give back through future nonprofit work. Her music remains a reminder that no one is alone, and that speaking your truth is the first step to freedom.

“When I write, I only speak what’s real. My goal is simple: to help you feel — understood, strong, and confident.” — True Istina
