Tony Cetinski began his musical journey at the age of fifteen, when he first started performing at local events. By seventeen, he was already playing regularly with a number of bands at various tourist festivals, including the well-known Rovinj Night.

Three years later, he reached a major milestone by representing Croatia at the Eurovision Song Contest with the song “Nek’ ti bude ljubav sva,” which brought him wider recognition and firmly established his place in the regional music world.
Over the years, he has developed a distinctive style that blends pop with elements of Mediterranean melody, and he has collaborated with many acclaimed writers and producers. His career includes numerous successful albums and standout festival performances, and through his music he has maintained a loyal audience throughout the region for decades.
