From playing at funerals to working in a dairy: summer jobs of famous Slovenes

Singer Nika Zorjan shared details about her early employment at Pomurske mlekarne, where her duties involved packaging cheese bags on a conveyor belt. She described the experience as engaging, noting that when she visited the store, she felt a sense of connection to her work. However, she also remarked on the physical environment, stating that while the job was interesting, the cold conditions were notable, adding that the setting is much more pleasant when the weather is warm.

Meanwhile, host Peter Poles recounted a more varied set of early professional tasks. During his summer vacation, his work included playing at funerals, which marked his initial source of income from performing “pleh muzika.” He also recalled that his grandmother advised him, given his skill as a clarinetist, to wear specialized gloves featuring protruding fingers or pads to prevent his hands from freezing during performances. These early lessons in work ethic were also shared by Alya, the newest juror on the television program Slovenija ima talent.

She explained that her professional habits were initially developed in a local pub that belonged to her grandmother. Reflecting on her own musical training, she echoed the advice regarding hand protection, advising the wearing of gloves with extended fingers or pads to ensure comfort and proper performance capability while playing.
