Some of these projects include performances with American Idol's Michael Lynche (aka Big Mike) as his background vocalist, recording with the flamenco star Jose Merce on the Latin Grammy nominated album Mi Unica Llave, and co-founding ROSA the international traditional Serbian all-female a cappella group endorsed by NY Folklore Society.

​Aleksandra spent a Summer in India in 2015, teaching as Artist in Residence at New Delhi's Global Music Institute, as well as performing with some of India's finest fusion musicians with project PATHWAYS that she formed with pianist Aman Mahajan.

Swimming in many sonic oceans led to the makings of her debut EP DREAMER, a genre-bending, soulful collection of her original music, released in March 2016.

In 2016 Aleksandra and her group were a part of Global celebration of International Jazz Day at Dupont Circle, in Washington DC, sharing the stage with jazz luminaries Dee Dee Bridgewater and Herbie Hancock. The same year, she performed at another IDJ event at UN headquarters in New York, alongside Brazilian guitarist Sergio Pereira.

She is a Director of the First International Contemporary Music Competition for Young Musicians in the Balkans - The Best Musical Mind, organized by Multikultivator cultural service and supported by Berklee College of Music and Souza Lima Conservatory.

In 2017 she joined a new international project - Jan Kus and The SlavoRican Assembly, an eclectic group that combines musical traditions from the Balkans and Slavic folk songs with the musical traditions of the Caribbean, synthesizing them seamlessly in a never-before-heard, attractive, heartfelt and powerful rhythmical mix!
