Marko Purišić (born 5 July 1995), known professionally as Baby Lasagna, is a Croatian singer, songwriter and music producer. He is set to represent Croatia in the Eurovision Song Contest 2024 with the song "Rim Tim Tagi Dim".

Career

From 2011 to 2016 and from 2018 to 2022, Purišić served as the guitarist for Manntra, a Croatian rock band.[1] While still a member of the band, they participated in Dora 2019, securing the fourth position with the song "In the Shadows" with a total of 12 points.[2] Following his tenure with the group, he transitioned to pursue a solo career in 2023.[3] On 21 October 2023, Purišić released his debut single "IG Boi" under the pseudonym Baby Lasagna through Molly Studios.[4] Two months later, in December 2023, his second single "Don't Hate Yourself, But Don't Love Yourself too Much" was released.[5]

Purišić was among the participants of Dora 2024, the Croatian selection for the Eurovision Song Contest 2024, with the song "Rim Tim Tagi Dim";[6] he advanced from his semi-final on 23 February 2024 and ultimately won the final on 25 February.[7] The song debuted at number 24 on the HR Top 40 chart, making it Purišić's first chart entry in Croatia.[8]

Other projects

In 2022, Purišić played a significant role in co-writing several tracks for Mono Inc.'s 12th studio album, Ravenblack. contributing to the album's success as it reached the number one spot in Germany, marking the band's highest-peaking album to date.[9] Notably, many of the songs penned by Purišić were selected as singles, including "Princess of the Night", "Empire", "Heartbeat of the Dead", "Lieb mich", and "At the End of the Rainbow".[10]

Artistry

Purišić came up with his stage name in an eureka moment while searching for a market to buy water and take a headache pill.[11]

Influences

Purišić cites Rammstein as his main musical influence.[12]

Musical style and songwriting

His music has been described as a mixture of pop punk, techno, metal, and house.[13][14] Purišić's musical style revolves around autobiographical storytelling, delving into his personal experiences, while also addressing broader societal issues, particularly those affecting his homeland.[15] Noteworthy examples include "Rim Tim Tagi Dim", a poignant narrative depicting a young boy's journey from Croatia in search of a brighter future in another country.[15]
