Stanić was born in Niš in 1975. As a child, she attended specialist music school and graduated in violin, also singing in Krsmanović Choir. She wrote her first song at the age of twelve.

In 1994, Stanić became the singer in the Eurodance/pop duo Moby Dick. She recorded three albums with Moby Dick, Kreni (Go, 1995), Moby Dick (1995) and Nostalgija (Nostalgia, 1997), which sold over 300,000 copies in FR Yugoslavia. During this period, Stanić wrote a number of the duo's songs, also writing songs for other Serbian pop acts–like Gala, Gloria, Zorana Pavić, and D'n'D–and appearing as vocalist on recordings by other Serbian Eurodance groups.

In 1998, Stanić left Moby Dick to start a solo career. She had her first solo appearance on Budva Festival, performing the song "Molila sam anđele" ("I Prayed to the Angles"), which she co-wrote with Ivana Pavlović. Stanić released her solo power pop-oriented debut Metar iznad asfalta (One Meter Above the Asphalt) in 1998. The album songs were authored by Stanić, Mirko Vukomanović (who also produced the album), Snežana Vukomanović, Ivana Pavlović, Dražen Janković (of the Zabranjeno Pušenje Belgrade-based faction), Vlado Georgiev, and other songwriters. The album recording featured prominent studio musician Nenad Stefanović "Japanac" (bass guitar), former Bezobrazno Zeleno member Ivan Kljajić (guitar) and Galija member Dragutin Jakovljević (guitar). Metar iznad asfalta brought Stanić's major hit "Točkovi" ("Wheels"). It also included an unplugged version of "Molila sam anđele", as well as the "Ghetto Mix" of "Točkovi". On the album promotional tour, Stanić was backed by the band Točkovi, featuring Dragutin Jakovljević, Ivan Kljajić, Steva Ninčević (bass guitar) and Goran Milošević (formerly of Plejboj, drums). • Illustration — Stanić in 2003 Stanić's second studio album, the 1999 Vidim te kad (I See You When), was also produced by Mirko Vukomanović, who also wrote the music arrangements.
