Goca Tržan

Gordana "Goca" Tržan (Serbian Cyrillic: Гордана "Гоца" Тржан) is a popular Serbian singer. She was born on July 8 1974, in Belgrade, Yugoslavia (now Serbia). She was raised in New Belgrade (Novi Beograd), and lived there until her 18th birthday.

Musical background

Her music is typically pop with some Balkan ethnological influences. In 2001, she collabrated with the famous Macedonian singer Toše Proeski to record the track "1,200 milja" which became an instant hit in the Serbian language. On the actual "Želim da se promenim" album, the track appears twice; it is also the final track in which the duo perform the song in the Macedonian language (1,200 mili).

Tržan famously held a concert to which one fanatic male admirer purchased every ticket making him the only spectator; this was something unknown to her until she arrived on stage somewhat curious as to why the arena was empty.

Family life

She was the first child of parents Rosa and Anton. Her father is from Slovenia. She has a younger brother, Andrej, born in 1977. On 27 January 2007, Tržan married Ivan Marinković. Upon marriage, she took the name Marinković, but continues to perform under her former name in relation to her music. On May 23, 2007 she gave birth to a baby girl Lena.

She loves long walks, fishing, animals, extreme sports.
