Finding your true self often begins with a spark—something that pulls you in before you even know why. For 2DaCore, born Maja Hatibovic, that spark appeared early. At just 9 years old, she discovered dance as a way to express emotions that words simply couldn’t hold.
She first stepped into the world of hip-hop, then gradually explored other styles like salsa, bachata, son, and contemporary dance. Each new rhythm taught her something different. Movement became her language. Through dance, she learned how to feel music deeply and connect with people without saying a single word.
Over time, that need for expression grew stronger. Dance was no longer enough. Maja felt a pull toward lyrics and voice, toward telling her story in a new way. She trained her vocals across a wide range of styles—from classical to rock, soul to rap—working closely with mentors who helped her develop not only her sound, but also her confidence, discipline, and focus as an artist.
Her path, however, was far from easy. While raising a child on her own, she earned a master’s degree in Pharmaceutical Sciences and successfully passed a demanding federal pharmacist exam—all without a support system to lean on. Many people doubted her ability to balance art, motherhood, and an intense academic career. She answered those doubts the only way she knew how: by keeping going.
She kept writing. She kept singing. She kept growing.
Today, 2DaCore’s music is a powerful mix of raw emotion and driving energy. Some tracks dig deep into painful truths and unfiltered feelings. Others are lighter, more uplifting—offering listeners a moment to breathe amid life’s noise. Her songs reflect the ups and downs of real life, creating space for vulnerability, strength, and release.
Whether you’re searching for understanding, motivation, or simply a sound that feels honest, 2DaCore delivers music that meets you where you are.
