# Nipplepeople

Nipplepeople (stylised in lowercase) is a Croatian electronic music duo formed in 2008 in Zagreb. They are known for their anonymity, performing with masks and avoiding personal identification. The duo's music is often characterized as downtempo or synthwave. The duo is known for their cover of Zdenka Kovačiček's song "Frka", which became a hit in Croatia and Serbia.
Their breakthrough single, "Sutra", released in 2010, won the Loud & Queer Award for Single of the Year in Serbia. Over the years, Nipplepeople has performed at some regional festivals, including Exit, Sea Star and Terraneo. Despite maintaining a low-profile public presence, the duo's music resonates strongly with fans and has garnered a significant following within the LGBTQ+ community.

## History

Their debut single, "Broj", was released in early 2009, with its music video, a live performance from MTV Adria's Hitorama, premiering two years later in February 2011.
In March 2017, Nipplepeople released their rendition of Zdenka Kovačiček's 1981 hit "Frka". The music was composed by Kire Mitrev, while the lyrics were adapted from Slavica Maras's poetry collection Konstatacija jedne mačke.
On 5 December 2024, Nipplepeople were announced as one of 24 participants in Dora 2025, the Croatian national selection for the Eurovision Song Contest 2025, with the song "Znak". On 1 March 2025, they finished seventh in the Dora final.
