Biography
Škoro, born in Osijek, completed an engineering degree at the University of Osijek. He subsequently spent some time in the United States of America where he attended two years at the Community College of Allegheny County. During his time in the United States, he co-wrote his first album Ne dirajte mi ravnicu with Pennsylvania native and tamburitza master Jerry Grcevich.
Music career
He emerged onto the Croatian music scene with the debut Ne dirajte mi ravnicu and produced a song of the same name which would go on to be one of the most famous Croatian songs. The tambura group Zlatni dukati released their own cover of the song that same year. In 2002 Škoro collaborated with Marko Perković on the song Reci, brate moj ("Tell me, my brother"), the year after collaboration was renewed in the single "Sude mi"("[They're] putting me on trial"), dedicated to former Croatian general Ante Gotovina. Škoro performed the song in a 2003 concert in Zagreb after which he broke into tears.
Business
He was president of Croatia Records, the largest record company in the country. In 2003, Škoro was a judge in Story Supernova Music Talents, a reality show aired on Nova TV. In 2003, he sang "Mate" at the funeral of General Janko Bobetko. In 2004, his song Milo moje won the Croatian Musicians Union's annual award for hit song. His 2005 album, Svetinja, sold over 20,000 copies.
Government and Politics
From 1995 to 1997 Škoro was the Croatian general consul to Hungary. On 30 October 2007 he joined the Croatian Democratic Union, becoming a candidate on 2007 parliamentary elections and won election to parliament.
