Karolina Gočeva

Karolina Gočeva (Macedonian: Каролина Гочева, pronounced [karɔˈlina ˈɡɔtʃɛva] ; born 28 April 1980), sometimes credited as Karolina Gocheva or known mononymously as Karolina, is a Macedonian singer. She launched her music career in 1991 with a performance at a local children's show and continued participating in the following years, receiving recognition for her talent. In 1992, she released her first children album titled Mamo, pušti me (English: Mom, let me go). She signed a contract with the record label Avalon Production in 2000.

Gočeva's discography consists of nine studio albums in total, spanning pop, R&B, rock, traditional folk and ethno, jazz and world musical styles. Shortly after signing her contract with Avalon Production, Gočeva released her debut studio album Jas Imam Pesna, which included the song "Nemir" featuring Toše Proeski. Her second, third, and fourth studio albums – Zošto Sonot Ima Kraj, Znaeš Kolku Vredam, and Vo Zaborav – were released in 2002, 2003, and 2005, respectively. Although Gočeva's initial five albums were more pop, R&B and rock-oriented, her later records Makedonsko Devojče (lit. 'Macedonian Girl') (2008), Makedonsko Devojče 2 (2014) and Izvor (lit. 'Spring') (2018) incorporated elements of Macedonian traditional music and jazz. This switch in sound led to increased popularity, wide acclaim from the public, and sold-out concerts in North Macedonia, Serbia, and Bulgaria. Her ninth studio album featuring Duke Bojadziev and Ismail Lumanovski, titled Pesni za Ljubov i Kopnež, was released on 24 December 2022. A studio album with preceded by singles "Od nebo do dno" and "Daj na sunce" was released at the end of 2024.
