Croatia | Damir Kedzo - "Ronim na dah"

RECENT

Damir Kedzo (Kedžo) is a Croatian singer who was born in Omišalj in 1987. His latest single, entitled "Ronim na dah", is phenomenal. It presents the usual pop music we get in the Balkans, but taking it to another level, adding the best of contemporary international pop-rock to it. The result of this blend is a track with a lot of personality, remarkable melody and outstanding chorus. It's our song of the week.

We love it!
