About me:

41 year old Singer from Sofia, Bulgaria Preslava is one of Bulgaria’s most influential and acclaimed pop-folk singers, recognized for her powerful voice, emotive performances, and signature modern-folk sound. Born in Dobrich, Bulgaria, she developed a passion for music from a young age. Preslava studied folk singing and the gadulka (a traditional Bulgarian string instrument), which helped shape her distinctive style that bridges the gap between Bulgaria’s rich folk tradition and contemporary pop-folk music.

She began her professional career in 2004 after signing with the prominent Bulgarian music label “Payner.” Her debut album immediately established her as a rising star, and her singles quickly dominated the Bulgarian music charts. Songs such as “Ne sam angel” (“I Am Not an Angel”), “Dqvolsko jelanie” (“Devilish Desire”), and “Pazi se ot priatelki” (“Beware of Girlfriends”) became national hits, showcasing her vocal strength and emotional intensity.

On stage, she is known for her charisma and audience connection. Her live shows are characterized by a balance of glamour and sincerity, often featuring intricate stage setups, choreographed performances, and strong visual direction that enhance the emotional weight of her songs.

Over the years, Preslava has released multiple studio albums and singles that have consistently topped Bulgarian music charts.
