Denis Ateshkhan Teofikov (in Bulgarian: Денис Атешхан Теофиков; 20 July 2000 — 24 October 2021), better known simply as Denis Teofikov (Bulgarian: Денис Теофиков), was a Bulgarian pop folk singer. He had been called the "Bulgarian Justin Bieber" because of his resemblance to the Canadian singer.[1]

Biography and creativity

[edit]

He was born on 20 July 2000 in Sofia. He grew up in a musical family — his mother, Venera, is a singer, and his father, Ateshkhan Teofikov, is a famous jazz guitarist. He finished his education at the Lyubomir Pipkov National Music School in Sofia. He participated in some of the biggest musical reality formats in Bulgaria — Balgariya tarsi talant and The X Factor. In 2018, he signed a contract with the Payner music company. The success of his debut duet "Грешка беше" with Tsvetelina Yaneva gave a flying start to the singer's professional career. His second project — the ballad "Мило мое" and the subsequent duets with Emilia — "Акула" and "Тръгвай си", confirmed his growing popularity and turned him into one of the new teen idols. In a short time, Denis Teofikov participated in one of Julia's projects and recorded three duets with Malkata — "Полудяваш", "И това ще отмине" and "Локдаун". The artist has joint projects with Anelia — "Милион", with Cvetelina Grahić — "Пак ще го направя", as well as a joint piece with Malkata, Alexander Robov and Cvetelina Grahić — "Не се отказват".

In 2016, he starred in the movie Monkey (Маймуна).
