Yova Radevska
Born and raised in Macedonia, 26 year-old singer-songwriter Yova Radevska has been a recording artist in her homeland since the age of twelve. There her recordings with Macedonian legend Tose Pop Simonon led to several national TV appearances and a wealth of national press exposure.
But Yova longed to travel
Relocating to London as soon as she was old enough to do so, Yova attained a Diploma in Popular Music at West London’s Vocal Tech (along with various other qualifications) whilst all the time searching for suitably sympathetic collaborators to realize her musical visions.
They finally arrived in the shape of the Mitchell/Caulfield song-writing team who, disenchanted with writing for media, had found in Yova a kindred spirit and united they set about writing and recording songs with genuine emotional depth. The result is the stunning debut album “Hourglass Diary”
Have you performed live in front of an audience? Any special memories?
I love playing live and am currently part of the thriving London acoustic scene. Special moments? It had to be that moment on-stage where I realised people were really listening to my songs and emotionally relating to them.
