Nina Žižić (Montenegrin: Нина Жижић, pronounced [nîna ʒǐʒit͡ɕ]; born 20 April 1985) is a Montenegrin singer. She began her career in 2004 with the group Negre. She first represented Montenegro in the Eurovision Song Contest 2013 alongside Who See with the song "Igranka" and did so again in the 2025 contest with the song "Dobrodošli".
Career
In December 2012, RTCG announced that Who See would represent Montenegro in the Eurovision Song Contest 2013 held in Malmö together with a "secret artist", who was later revealed to be Žižić.[1][2] Their entry was the song "Igranka". The song was performed in the first semi-final on 14 May 2013, but came 12th with 41 points, failing to qualify for the final.[3]
In 2021, Žižić was a member of the internal jury to select Montenegro's entry for the Eurovision Song Contest 2022.[4]
Žižić participated in Montesong 2024, the Montenegrin national final for the Eurovision Song Contest 2025, with the song "Dobrodošli", finishing second to Neonoen with "Clickbait". However, Neonoen withdrew on 4 December 2024 due to having previously performed their entry in 2023, a violation of the rules.[5] On 8 December 2024, Žižić was announced to be chosen as the Montenegrin representative in the contest instead.[6] She competed on 15 May 2025 in semifinal 2 and failed to qualify for the grand final.[7]
