#TAMARA TODESKA PROFESSIONAL#

Those 3 minutes are the most magical minutes I have experienced in my professional career and I can’t wait to get back on the stage. I have already performed at Eurovision so I am not worried nor stressed about Have you spoken to any past entrants? If so, what advice have they had? So many amazing songs this year and I can’t wait to meet all the amazing artists representing their countries. Have you listened to your competitors yet? If so, which is your current favourite? I think everyone has the same feeling when listening to the song – I got goosebumps and I am crying. What is the best feedback you have received as yet? I want her to be whoever she wants to be and most importantly, be proud of who she is. I want her to know that she doesn’t have to follow the rules to be accepted.

#TAMARA TODESKA HOW TO#

Today, as I look at my daughter, I want her to grow up in a world where people will not judge her, tell her how to act, smile and move. You see, in their minds, I was just another lost girl.

Lower your head, put something sexy on, no one cares what you really think, they would say. My whole life I have been told that I wasn’t girly enough, good enough, that I walked and acted like a man. I know it sounds like a cliché, but they truly changed my life and I feel, both, as a mother and as a parent, that it is my responsibility and OUR responsibility to bring positive change to our children's lives. I am a mother of two: a three-year-old girl and a three-month-old boy. The song is dedicated to my daughter but it is a song about everyone out there fighting for their dreams, believing in their dreams and not giving up on them. Your song is called Proud, tell us about it.

I said immediately mostly because I feel that I am more mature now, more experienced and I got much more to say. I had just given birth to my son when I got the invitation to represent my country at this year’s Eurovision Song Contest. How did you feel when you found out you would be representing North It is the place where being different means being PROUD. Eurovision is all about accepting the different, defying the norms and being proud of who you are, just the way you are.Įurovision is that one night in the year when the entire continent comes together to celebrate boldness, bravery and individuality. What appealed to you about entering Eurovision?Įurovision is so much more than a music festival. And I am sure most of you know my sister Tijana, who represented our country at the Eurovision Song Contest 2014 with the song To the Sky. My mother is an opera singer at the National Opera and my father is a professor at the Academy of Music in Skopje. My whole life I have been surrounded by music. I was six when I watched Carola win the Eurovision Song Contest in 1991 and I remember telling my parents – one day I will be just like her. What can I say about myself? I have been performing since I was six years old and actually, one of the main reasons why I am doing what I am doing is because of Eurovision. Her last appearance came half a decade ago when she performed as a backing vocalist for her sister, Tijana Dapčević.įinally returning as a soloist, she hopes to do North Macedonia 'Proud' with her powerful song.įor those not in the know, tell us a little about yourself. Back in 2008 she represented her home country alongside Vrčak & Adrian, before having already appeared as a backing vocalist forToše Proeski in 2004.
