Career
As no MBGN contest was held in 1997, Kapetanovic held the title for nearly two years. After obtaining a Law degree from the University of Westminster in 2003, Kapetanovic ventured into show-business. She briefly worked for her mother as a back-up singer before co-producing the musical Sundance.
In 2005, she was signed to Sony BMG as a singer/songwriter, and wrote and performed several songs, including "Into the Blue", which was used in the film Silence Becomes You, in which she had a cameo, and "Disconnected", which was recorded by Will Young.
Prior to this, she had a modelling deal with Premier Model Management, and worked in fashion shows, music videos, and commercials. She has since featured in some low budget movies including The Sea Change and Solomon with Ben Cross, and sung with dance act Glide and Swerve.
In 2013, Kapetanovic was a contestant on The Voice United Kingdom, but was not picked by the judges.
