Tozovac was born in Kraljevo, Kingdom of Yugoslavia on 22 January 1936. His father Svetozar "Toza" Živković was also a musical and a restaurant owner, while mother Budimka was a housewife. His father was shot in 1941 in Kraljevo during Nazi Germany occupation.
He went to Kraljevo high school and in 1976 graduated at the Higher School of Economics in Belgrade.
He began working as a musician in the 1960s, first as an accordion player who accompanied other, more prominent singers, while later in the decade, he teamed up with other composers like Duško Radetić, Bane Popov, and Dušan Karaklajić, becoming a folk music star himself.
During his 40 year-long career, Tozovac recorded over 30 singles and 20 albums, played on over 300 concerts in all of the former Yugoslavia, France, United States, Canada, United Kingdom, Austria, Germany, etc. Most prominent concerts were in Belgrade, in the Dom Sindikata Hall and in Zagreb, in the Vatroslav Lisinski Concert Hall.
In addition to songs either composed by him or his colleagues, he also recorded many Serbian folk songs. Most important hits during his career are:
Mirjana
Ide Mile Lajkovačkom prugom
Gde si da si moj golube (duet with Mira Vasiljević)
Vodeničareva ćerka
Prazna čaša na mom stolu
Oči jedne žene
Jesen u mom sokaku
Ti si me čekala
Violino ne sviraj
Malo po malo
Pričaj mi o njoj
Igrale se delije
Jeremija
Siromah sam, al' volim da živim
Uzmi sve što ti život pruža
Nosila je plavi šeširić na glavi
Vlajna
Potražiću ljubav novu
Leno, Magdaleno
To ludo srce moje
In the 1980s he became a co-host of the highly popular TV folk-music show Folk parada on Television Belgrade, with another major folk star, Predrag Cune Gojković and an actress and singer Zlata Petković.
In the late 1990s and early 2000s he didn't record much, but he scored few hits, like Danče, Ljubav je za sve godine and a duet with Lepa Lukić, and was again a co-host of the most popular music TV show in Serbia, Grand Show, on TV Pink. He also held a very popular three-singers concert, performing with Predrag Cune Gojković and Miroslav Ilić.
