Ljiljana Nikolovska (Croatian pronunciation: [ʎǐʎana nikɔlɔ̌ʋskaː]; Macedonian: Лилјана Николовска, also spelled Nikolovski or Nikoloski; born 24 August 1964) is a Croatian singer who rose to prominence as the lead vocalist for the Split-based pop music act Magazin.
Born in Split, Nikolovska is of paternal Macedonian descent. She recorded eight albums, and appeared on numerous compilation albums with Magazin from 1982 to mid-1990 and other bands and projects to this day. She recorded a solo album in 1996 named Let for Croatia Records.
Since 1993, Nikolovska has been married to musician Pete Mazich. They have a son, named Tony, and live in San Pedro, California, United States, where they own a Recording Studio, record, play and co-produce projects with numerous musicians and bands of other nationalities. Nikolovska does mostly charity work and recordings that contribute to those in need (most noted for "Doctors Without Borders").
In 2021, Nikolovska gave an interview with Portal Novosti, during which she shared that she misses Split that she does not recognize anymore and that she does not consider group Magazin to be a phenomenon.[2]
