Sisarich was born in
New Plymouth to Croatian parents. Learning piano and guitar at a young age, her musical talent was not always obvious to her school peers due to her shyness and reluctance to perform publicly. She won The Auckland Easter Show Top Song Contest talent show in 1964, and subsequently began singing with New Plymouth band the Nitelites while working as a court reporter for the Transport Licensing Authority. Her last release was a 1976 New Zealand promotional record entitled ''You're Our Way, Naturally New Zealand
, and her last television appearance was in 1978 on Song for the Pacific'', recorded at the Christchurch Town Hall. She has since retired from music. ==References==
