12 July 1981: Maja Sar born

Maja Sarihodžic was born 12 July 1981. She became known by her stage name Maya Sar. In 2005, Maya Sar graduated with a Bachelor of Music with concentration on piano from University of Sarajevo's Sarajevo Music Academy. Before she started her solo career, Sar was a backing vocalist for many famous singers, performing on the Eurovision stage in 2004 and 2011 in that capacity.

She represented Bosnia and Herzegovina at the 2012 Eurovision Song Contest with the song 'Korake ti znam'. Although the song progressed from the semi-final into the final, its final placing was number 18 in a field of 25 competitors. It was Bosnia and Herzegovina's worst result in the Eurovision final since 1997. Still, it's a beautiful song as you can hear below.
