Croatian singer Jakov Jozinović wins Shooting Star award as regional tour sells out

Jakov Jozinović, a 20‑year‑old singer from Vinkovci, Croatia, has rapidly risen to fame across the Balkans. His covers of classic hits went viral, leading to a sold‑out regional tour titled “Ja za čuda letim.” The tour’s packed venues prompted his receipt of the Shooting Star award at the Story Hall of Fame Cabaret edition by Prahir, and he appears on the cover of the magazine’s birthday issue.

In an interview he described the experience as “still a bit unreal,” crediting audience support and family for his momentum. He also disclosed that a well‑known footballer is his uncle, adding a personal note to his public profile.
