Tajči
Croatian singer
Tatjana Cameron (née Matejaš, pronounced [tǎtjana mǎtejaʃ]; born on 1 July 1970), known professionally as Tajči ( TY-chee, Croatian: [tǎjtʃi]), is a Croatian singer, television show host, published author and blogger, who now lives in the United States.
On 10 October 2025, she appeared on the Balkanskom Unicom show in Serbia where she discussed her experience with being raped during the height of her popularity in the region of Yugoslavia. She also shared how she contemplated suicide after and almost jumped off a cliff with her car.
Career
As a pop star in the former Yugoslavia in the late 1980s and early 1990s, Tajči won the national selection of RTV Zagreb, SR Croatia and represented Yugoslavia at the Eurovision Song Contest 1990. The contest was held in Zagreb and she sang the song "Hajde da ludujemo" ("Let's go crazy"). Her Yugoslav music career was cut short by the breakup of Yugoslavia and the subsequent war.
She left Croatia in 1992 and a year later graduated from the American Musical and Dramatic Academy in New York. She appeared in numerous off Broadway productions and landed a lead role in "Miracle of Christmas" a mega-production at Sight and Sound Theatre, Lancaster, Pennsylvania. During her time in New York, she was signed by Camile Barbone and produced the "Age of Love" CD recorded at Long View Farms Studio.
In 1994, she returned to Croatia and starred in a production of Kiss Me Kate by Croatian National Theatre, Rijeka.

The entry’s evidential value lies in the named roles, institutions and publications that can be tested against primary documentation. The source revision retrieved here is dated Sep 9, 2026. The linked authority identifier is Q258323. VIAF identifies the subject as 305502351. 3 of 3 selected statements include explicit references; 0 carry qualifiers and 0 use preferred rank.

A concise life account rarely captures disputed attribution, private networks or the changing language used to describe a career. The lead is largely declarative, so disagreement and counter-evidence require a deliberate search beyond the opening account. Authority statements aid reconciliation but still require their own references, qualifiers and ranks to be checked.
