Atanas Kolev (Bulgarian: Атанас Колев), born 21 December 1996 better known by his stage name Nasko, is a Bulgarian singer and basketball player from the Bulgarian city of Varna. He is a finalist of X Factor Bulgaria in 2013.[1] He currently plays for Cherno More Varna.
Biography
Atanas was born in Varna, Bulgaria. You could easily tell that he is from Varna due to the way he speaks. For example if you listen to any of his songs he doesn't use the letter "e" and replaces it with "i". He started training basketball at the age of 14 in BC Cherno More (where he still plays). He studies at the High School of Mathematics "Dr. Petar Beron", Varna but if you really want to meet the real Nasko, you should definitely go to Plaza Night or 4as Pik.[2]
In 2013, he participated in X Factor where he finished as a runner-up. A typical way he starts his songs is with "Lay down on the floor" repeated twice followed by "Nasko e chuek" which if you really concentrate sounds like "It is Nasko, man" but due to his origin (Varna, Bulgaria) it is still debatable what he really means.
