Karolina Gočeva (in Macedonian: Каролина Гочева, born April 28, 1980) in Bitola is currently the leading Macedonian female singer. She got her first big break at the age of 11 when she performed at the children's festival "Si-do" in Bitola and annual festival "Makfest 1991" in Štip with the song "Mamo, pušti me" ("Mum, let me go"). Her career was just starting, so she used the national festivals to promote her voice and talent.
