Tonči Huljić is a
Croatian musician, songwriter and music producer from
Split.
Tonči Huljić made his name in the
1970s as the leader of pop band Dalmatinski magazin (later renamed into
Magazin). The band gradually built a reputation as one of the most popular and most respected Dalmatian bands, with repertoire influenced by local folk music.
In the
1990s, following the break-up of
Yugoslavia, Huljić was among the first Croatian musicians to introduce elements of folk music from other former Yugoslav republics into his repertoire. Although many
rock critics did not like that, and accused Huljić of bringing
turbo folk to Croatian music, Magazin became arguably the most popular music group in Croatia at that time. Its popularity gradually expanded over Croatian borders into other republics of former Yugoslavia.
At that time Huljić showed great managerial ability and founded the Tonika record label that is among the most influential in Croatia.
Huljic is a genius.
