Toše Proeski

Jan 25, 1981 - Oct 16, 2007(27)

Starry sky

Toše is now a star in the endless starry sky.

Toša has been interested in music since childhood. This love was passed on to him by his parents, Nikola and Domenika. Whenever he came home from school, he would find them playing and singing with the company. At school, he played the clarinet, piano and guitar, and also learned the saxophone and kaval. He entered the Skopje Academy of Music, and he was only two exams away from graduating. He was looking forward to his graduation concert, which he was supposed to hold in the spring of 2008. He had his first performance at the age of ten. With them, he delighted everyone present by singing the song "Ave Maria" perfectly. At the age of fifteen, he participated in the Makfest festival, after which he was noticed by manager Grigor Koprev, with whom he began working together. He publishes the songs "Lip on the lips" and "Your sun in golden hair" that delight the Macedonian audience and launch him among the stars. In 1999, he released his debut album "Somewhere in the Night", and just three years later he started touring all the Balkan countries. He also performed at the Eurovision Song Contest in Turkey with the song "Life". That year, many Macedonian artists gave up their candidacy for the Eurovision Song Contest, knowing that Toše would surely beat them.

He became popular in Croatia after he recorded the duet Lagala nas mala with Toni Cetinski. Not long after that, he released an album in the Croatian language and became a favorite of the audience. He wins the award of the Croatian Radio Festival, making him the only singer of non-Croatian origin to receive this award.

After Toša's tragic death, the musical event "Starry Sky" is held every year in his honor in Skopje. It was inspired by Toša's last concert held on October 5, 2007 in Skopje. Namely, at that time, Toša really liked that the audience spontaneously started turning on mobile phones and blowing them up during his ballads. He told them: - Turn on the phones, recreate the starry sky, I can't describe to you what it looks like from the scene... May the starry sky never go out... This is indescribable! - Toše is now a part of the starry sky, and in honor of Toša, the audience creates a starry sky every year, hoping that he can now see it even better.
