Robert Pešut (born December 1, 1965 in Ljubljana, Slovenia, known as Magnifico, is a singer from Slovenia of Yugoslavian ethnicity.[1]

His musical path started with music group U'redu, with whom he recorded his first album, Let's Dance (1992). After that, he embarked on a solo career, recording six albums in twelve years. Many of his songs have become a key part of Slovenian music history. Some of them are Silvija (participating on Slovenia's pre-selection for Eurovision 1998), Kdo je čefur, 24.000 poljubov and Hir aj kam hir aj go (the latter also being a hit in some other countries such as Italy and the former Yugoslav republics).[citation needed]

Throughout his career, he has combined disco, Balkan, funk and electronic music, creating a new and successful style. He has collaborated with other Slovenian groups, such as Sestre, and most recently Turbolentza, another Slovenian band. The band is featured in his latest music video, 'Giv mi mani'.

Magnifico's novel dressing style, performances, and quotes have gained him fame and notoriety in Slovenia and in other countries as well.[citation needed]

He is also the author of music for the of the EMA 2002 song Samo Ljubezen (Only Love) (sung by the transvestite group Sestre).

Magnifico is currently on a contract with Piranha Musik.
