Tamara Todevska (Macedonian: Тамара Тодевска, pronounced [ˈtamara ˈtɔdɛvska] , born 1 June 1985), also known mononymously as Tamara, is a Macedonian pop singer. She has represented North Macedonia in the Eurovision Song Contest on two occasions; in 2008, she performed the song "Let Me Love You" with Vrčak and Adrian Gaxha and failed to qualify for the final, performing, and in 2019, she placed seventh in the final with the song "Proud", earning North Macedonia its best-ever result in the contest.[1][2]

Tamara began her music career in 2003 following the release of her debut studio album Sino. She has won on various music competitions throughout her career such as MAKFest in 2006 and Skopje Fest in 2007.

Todevska is the younger sister of singer Tijana Dapčević, and they have collaborated several times.

Life[edit]

Tamara Todevska was born in Skopje. She was raised in a musical family. Her father, Velko Todevski, is a Macedonian professor in a music school and her mom, Brana, is a Bosnian Serb opera singer. Tamara's mom influenced her deep, operatic vocal style.

Her older sister is Tijana Dapčević. On 27 June 2015, Tamara married former basketball player Aleksandar Dimitrovski.[3] They have one daughter named Hana and one son Daren.[4] The couple divorced after seven years of marriage. [5]

Career[edit]

Her first official song is a duet with her sister Tijana called "Igra luda" (Crazy game), released in 1997. Her music career broke through in 2003 when she sang "1003" at the Montenegrin festival Budva, where she placed 2nd.

In 2005, her first album was realized under the title Sino (English translation "Blue"). The music producer and composer of this album is Aleksandar Masevski with whom had Tamara cooperated since 2004. The album won Album of the year (2005).[6] Hits from that album are: "Sino", "Molci, molci" (ft. Ronin), "A, shto ako?", "Ljubovna prikazna" (ft. Ugro), "Najverni prijateli", "Ljubi, ljubi" (duet with Tuna), "Shetaj" etc.

Tamara was successful during the Macedonian Eurovision selection. She gained 105 points, placing second with the song "Kazi Koj Si Ti" ("Tell Me Who You Are")[citation needed].

In February 2008, Tamara won the Skopje Fest 2008 with the composition "Vo ime na ljubovta" featuring Rade Vrchakovski and Adrian Gaxha, thus gaining right to represent Macedonia in the Eurovision Song Contest 2008.[7] The song was a hit in the Balkans, and was predicted to do well in the Eurovision. The song was sung in six languages (Macedonian, English, Serbian, Turkish, Russian and Albanian) and the quality video was made by Dejan Milicevic. In the Eurovision Song Contest 2008, which was held in Belgrade, Serbia, they performed in the second semi-final on the number 18. They sang the English version of "Vo ime na ljubovta" called "Let Me Love You" and reached 10th place in the semifinal. With the decision of the jury they failed to qualify.

Todevska represented North Macedonia in the Eurovision Song Contest 2019 in Tel Aviv with the song “Proud”.[8] In the final, she finished in seventh place with 305 points and placed first in the jury vote. This is North Macedonia’s best result at the contest.

In December 2019, Tamara participated in the 21st editionofKënga Magjike with the song "Monsters" and finished fifth overall.
