Miroslav Škoro (born July 29, 1962 in Osijek , Yugoslavia ; today Croatia ) is a Croatian musician, moderator and politician. From 2001 to 2006 he was president of the largest Croatian record company Croatia Records .

In 2005, the weekly political magazine Nacional Škoro was one of the 1,000 most influential people in Croatia (337th place).

Interactions with other artists

Miroslav Škoro lived in the USA in the late 1980s. There he wrote the lyrics to the song Ne dirajte mi ravnicu together with the Croatian tamburica musician Jerry Grcevich , which also became his debut album and increased its popularity.

In 2002 he worked with the musician Marko Perković and produced the songs Reci, brate moj ( Say, my brother ) and Sude mi ( You judge me ). He often appeared at joint concerts with the singers Marko Perković and Mate Bulić or with just one of the two, so that the musicians are also known as tri tenora (The Three Tenors) or tri kuma (The Three Godfathers ).

The video produced by HRT 2003 Hrvatska Radiotelevizija for the song “Tamo gdje je dom” (There where home is) was played by the actor Josip Zovko .
