Beginnings

Jelena began her musical journey and quest for her own sound already as a teenager, singing with several bands including Faust, Inner light, Contesa Nera, Funky Town, performing in clubs of Zagreb, as well as in many TV shows of the time (Crno-bijelo u boji, Dobri ljudi, Hit HTV...). Later on she broke new ground as a solo artist singing in the "Sarajevski krug" musical, which took her, together with other performing colleagues, some 40 strong, to the famous Lisinski Concert Hall a dozen times, to virtually all national theatres in Croatia, to the Theater den an der Wienne in Vienna, Austria, as well as stages in Scotland and America. This material has been recorded on a studio album entirely finalized in the Austrian studio of Linz, Austria, both in Croatian and English language, "Sarajevski krug" ("Sarajevo circle").
Her first national breakthrough as a solo artist was her performance at the Melodije hrvatskog Jadrana Festival in 2001, where she appeared in a tailcoat and ragged jeans, with her rendition of „Ruže venu same,“ penned by the legendary Zdenko Runjić. There she received an award for Best Newcomer. This launched a string of appearances at various festivals, where she presented her insightful songs, and earned numerous awards for her interpretation.
The song that remains her personal anthem to this day is „Leti do snova“ (Bulić-Dodig) from 2003, which version in Italian s titled «Prendi la vita.» The latter reaffirms the Italian style Jelena brings into her expression and interpretation.

About her music

In her work, Jelena follows some simple rules: a dignified approach toward music, and creating sonics and performing songs that express her own sentiment. She greatly appreciates the musicians, authors, music arrangers and producers she works with, whose work and expertise help her present herself in her very own style and breathe life into her songs. 

Collaborations

Together with her musicians, in the summer of 2006, Jelena participated at the Liburnia jazz festival in Opatija, Croatia. In 2008 she also performed at the Siscia Open Jazz & Blues Festival. In the bill of illustrious cooperation there is also the famous Parni Valjak band. Participating with her band in the Vlatko Stefanovski & Miroslav Tadić Croatian Tour increased her visibility as well. She performed with the well-known jazz pianist Matija Dedić, who was also her special guest in December of 2005 at her concert of fado music in the concert hall of Tvornica in Zagreb, Croatia. Her albums record collaborations with Marijan Brkić, Dejan Orešković, Saša Bulić, Ines Prajo, Arjana Kunštek… 
A fortunate collaboration with the exceptional tandem Meri Jaman i Anitom Valo (the famous Meritas) has outgrown the mere composers-performer relationship and become a true jewel of concert attraction, with a unique joint program under one title, „When tomorrow comes“, which presents, in an interesting manner, their direction in music, their love for songs and authors and performers who have been their major inspiration. 

Jelena and her fado

Already involved in the traditional Portuguese sound, Jelena started her fado tour titled "Moja potraga za fadom" (My Research of Fado) by the end of the summer in 2005. She presented her new musical direction – a story in music, starting from her intimate world of experiences and listening to the music, wherein she comes to love the fado sound, and growing into actually story-singing to the audience, expressing thus the impregnation with the state and the feeling of saudade, yearning and pain. Concerts inside the famous Diocletian's Palace, in the Cathedral of Trogir, theatres of Šibenik, Zadar, and Rovinj, in the Tvornica concert hall in Zagreb, in culture centers and other appropriate scenes, like those in the cities of Rijeka, and Osijek, as well as the one at the Peristil, in the city of Split, but also the concerts yet to come, only confirm what she already knew – that there is a demand for beautiful music, and that the audience can truly appreciate her intimate and immediate sound.
On this great journey her greatest support comes from the translator Dean Trdak, helping her with pronunciation and understanding Portuguese language and culture. 
On the wings of the American promotional tour with Meri and Anita from the Meritas duo, whereby they presented their joint concert program «When tomorrow comes», a surprise call from Mr. Hoji Fortuna came at the right time, and Jelena was invited to perform her fado in New York. The outstanding guitar player Beledo from New York took over the guitar, and Meri and Anita, presented their unique songs to the audience in the Big Apple, providing a grande finale.


In early 2010, she accepted the invitation of the Director of Ballet Theatre in Zagreb, Irena Pasaric, and together with the ballet company became part of contemporary ballet „Variations in f.ado minor“, choreographed and directed by Hugo Viera, together with her musicians Josko Tomic and Mario Stojan within the play they performed fado live. 

The premiere of Femme Fadal - Dream of Amalia Rodrigues, the images of shadow theater, directed by Morana Dolenc was in May 2012 at the theater KNAP. This is a piece which combines a shadow theater and puppetry with fado performed by Jelena Radan accompanied by Pedro Abreu on guitar. 

When tomorrow comes

The concert program headlined by Meri Jaman, Anita Valo (the Meritas) and Jelena Radan, grew out of a spontaneous and sincere desire to share with the audience the songs, authors and performers that have been their greatest source of inspiration. When put together, the common feeling they share, and their quite different but evocative voices and distinct ways of performing, an interesting musical treat is created, charged with emotional resonance. This is done with ample support by the musicians, Tin Ostreš, Dejan Orešković, and Zdeslav Klarić, comprising the backup Meritas band. In the past two years the audience has had numerous opportunities to hear them in the splendid atmosphere of the friendly Bulldog Club in the downtown Zagreb, and thus enjoy their special concert program.
In the fall of 2008, Meri, Anita and Jelena took a promotional tour in the United States, following an invitation by Lauren Olane, who organized the entire tour. They performed in clubs in Detroit and Chicago. Follows a feature at the Kalamazzoo radio station. They then traveled to New York, where Jelena gave her own fado concert together with the guitar player Beledo, due to the invitation by Mr. Hoji Fortuna. Meri and Anita provided a wonderful closing to the concert by presenting a few of their own songs. The entire tour experience will be remembered for a long time. 
Within CNN's special show at the end of 2008, there was also a special feature by Ivana Dragičević-Veličković, a HRT journalist, wherein she includes an excerpt with their impressions on the atmosphere in America on the eve of the elections, as a reflection on the Barrack Obama victory.

Jelena participated at the International Festival of French Chanson in 2000, where her rendition of a French tune earned her the first prize. Curiosly, Jelena took part in the Croatian version of the “Brother Bear” cartoon ("Legenda o medvjedu") wherein she sings a Phil Collins number, originally performed by Tina Turner. She also recorded a song for the cartoon „The Prince of Egypt“, previously sung by Ofra Haza.

In 2007 she was approached by the Croatian Ministry of the Interior (MUP), with an invitation to join a campaign titled «„Manje oružja, manje tragedija“ (Less guns, less casualties) (a joint effort by the MUP and the UN Police Department)», in which she participated with her colleagues from the Meritas band. This led to recording the song „Čudesan svijet“ together. 
In 2008, following an invitation from the „Ja volim životinje“ (“I love animals”) project leadership, under the direction of the singer-songwriter Lea Dekleva, she joined forces with other likeminded musicians and recorded the „Nema isprike“ song as a part of the band-aid.
In the company of her friends from the Meritas group, she participated in the Zemlja bez granica manifestation (The Land Without Borders), which the Breza association from Osijek has been organizing for many years now. In 2008 this commendable manifestation under the seasonal title of «Kao oblak», transformed itself into Zeda – The Land of Children, inside the walls of the fort Tvrđa in the city of Osijek. Numerous children, teenagers, and international artists directing the workshops, partook in creating the Land of Children on the streets of the ancient downtown Osijek. The idea was drawn directly from Jelena's, as yet, unpublished story „Rejna Zum u Zemlji djece“, the main advocate for it being Suzana Vargović, the project manager and director of the Association.
In 2007 and 2008 she accepted the invitation by the Croatian national television to participate in the music show Zvijezde pjevaju (Singing With The Stars), which she appeared in the first and the second season of the series.
She is also a regular in the singers group for the new HRT's music show titled The Evergreen, which went on air from January the 3rd to February the 21st of 2009.
