Damjan Čarapić, widely recognized by his stage name Tozla, is a Serbian rapper and producer known for his unique golden mask, symbolizing his artistic persona. He stepped into the limelight in early 2019 with his debut song, "Mala je droga," which quickly gained popularity. Collaborating with prominent Serbian artists like Katarina Kaja Ostojić, Tee Tairović, and Ljupka Stević further cemented his position in the music industry.
Before adopting the name Tozla, Damjan performed as Damjan Eltech, carving a reputation in the Serbian music scene. During this period, he gained recognition for his hit song "Mama" in collaboration with rapper Saisi MC. These earlier experiences laid the foundation for his current success as Tozla.
What sets Tozla apart is his distinctive style, blending contemporary rap with traditional Serbian music influences. His golden mask not only adds an air of mystery but also reflects his stage identity, focusing attention on his music rather than his personal life. Critics often praise his ability to create catchy tunes with deep, relatable lyrics, making him a favorite among fans of modern Serbian music. However, his unique approach has also sparked debates about the balance between artistry and image in the music industry.
Tozla’s career highlights include performing at major music festivals and releasing chart-topping duets. Despite his public persona, Damjan remains dedicated to exploring new sounds and evolving as an artist. His journey from Damjan Eltech to Tozla reflects years of hard work, experimentation, and a deep love for music.
With his growing popularity and a string of hits, Tozla continues to be a prominent figure in Serbian rap, blending tradition with innovation to leave a lasting mark on the music world.
