Pisarović was born in Brčko, Bosnia-Herzegovina, Yugoslavia and grew up in Požega, Croatia, a part of the same country until she was 14. From her earliest childhood she attended a music school, where she played the flute, sang in choirs and participated in various music contests.
In the mid-1990s she moved to Zagreb, Croatia, where she continued her musical career. She began singing in clubs and writing songs. In 1997, while performing at the Croatian festival Zadarfest, she met Milana Vlaović. Vlaović started to write songs for Vesna.
In 2002 Vesna Pisarović won the annual Dora festival, the event that determines Croatia's entry for the Eurovision Song Contest. Her song Everything I Want placed 11th in the Eurovision Song Contest 2002. Many traditional fans were disappointed that Pisarović became the first ever Croatian based performer (including dozens down the generations representing Yugoslavia) to perform her entire song in English rather than the local language as the Southern Slavic states have been known to do, even in the 21st century. She wrote the song In the Disco which represented Bosnia and Herzegovina at the Eurovision Song Contest 2004.
Vesna Pisarović has released the following albums:
- "If You Knew" (Da znaš), released in 2000, and the best-selling debut album in Croatia that year (including hits "Da znaš", "Poslije svega", "Sve na svijetu" and "Ja čekam noć"), and
- "Made for you" (Za tebe stvorena), released in 2001 (including hits "Za tebe stvorena", "Da je meni (oko moje)", "Da sutra umrem" and "Jutro donosi kraj").
- "Everything I want", is a song that Vesna represented on "Eurovision Song Contest" in 2002, 2002
- "As if it was time" (Kao da je vrijeme), is Vesna's 3rd album in Croatia, but also her debut-album in Serbia, Montenegro and Macedonia. It includes hits like "Kao da je vrijeme...", "Sasvim sigurna", "Bježi od mene" and "Ivane", 2002
- "Best of", released in 2003
- "Singing is everything to me" (Pjesma mi je sve), includes hits "Dolje na koljena", "Ljubomora", "Ne dam da odeš", "Spremna sam" and "Svrha ljubavi". It was released in 2003
- "Five" (Peti). Vesna has 8 singles from this album, that contains very different genres: pop-rock ("Hypohondar", "Ti si kriv"), electro sound ("Zašto mi lažeš", "Srela sam anđela"), jazz ("Stranac"), folk ("Ovo nije moje vrijeme") ballad ("Neka ljudi govore", "Ti ne znaš što je ljubav")... 2005
At the momment, Vesna is leader on the Croatian top10 with her new single "Imam sve, al' tebe ne". Vesna Pisarović has won awards at numerous music festivals ("Dora" 2002, Zadarfest 2003, "Zlatne žice Slavonije" 2004, 2005...).
