Marin Petkov Yonchev (Bulgarian: Марин Петков Йончев) (born January 28, 1988 in Plovdiv, Bulgaria) is the winner of the first Star Academy reality show in Bulgaria in 2005.[1][2][3]

Early years

Born in 1988 Marin Petkov Yonchev was introduced to the art of music at a very early age. A holder of multiple prizes in singing competitions, his first step on stage was at the age of 4. Among others, major factor in steering his future career aspirations has been his decade-long musical growth in the Plovdiv boys choir “Stefka Blagoeva”. Marin has been in the spotlight since 2000, when he won the “Hit – 1” competition, together with his sister Sonya Yoncheva. He also won the prize of Aliance Francaise for Young Singer in 2004, in Plovdiv. A major leap to fame came with winning the first Bulgarian reality music TV show “Star Academy” in 2005. In the year that followed, he was awarded 1st prize for a debut in BG Radio for his song and video – “One senseless Day”. Eighteen years of age at that point, Marin would spend the next five years searching for his true calling in arts. He would eventually find it in the opera, and step on a stage again in 2011. [4]

A month later he took part in the production of Iris from Mascagni in the festival Radio France in Montpellier. December the same year, he sang the tenor part of the 9th Symphony of Beethoven in the Opera of Salvador in Salvador de Bahia, Brazil, where he also held teaching classes for the children in the local school of music.
