Early Life & Education

His ethnicity is Croatian, and he was raised in the Catholic faith, which became a big part of his life after a personal conversion in his 20s.

Marko has a younger brother, Martin, who is also a musician and was part of the band Mono Inc. until June 2024. As a child, Marko loved music and played in a band, but he didn’t take his faith seriously at the time, viewing it as just a tradition.

His family’s teaching background led him to think he might become a teacher, but music ultimately called him instead.

Proud of his Croatian roots, Marko brought his love for his homeland into his songs, especially in his hit “Rim Tim Tagi Dim.”

There’s no public information about Marko Purišić’s formal education, but his skills in songwriting and music production suggest he’s a quick learner.

He likely attended local schools in Umag, where he grew up. His ability to blend different music styles, such as pop punk and techno, demonstrates that he has learned a great deal on his own, driven by his passion for music.

His big break came in 2024 with “Rim Tim Tagi Dim,” a catchy song about a young boy leaving Croatia for a better life.

The song won Dora 2024, sending Marko to Eurovision 2024 in Malmö, where he finished second with 547 points, winning the public vote and becoming Croatia’s highest-scoring Eurovision entrant ever.

The song hit #1 on Croatia’s HR Top 40 chart and #2 on Billboard’s Croatia Songs chart. Marko also performed as an interval act at Eurovision 2025 in Basel with Käärijä, singing a mashup of their songs and a new single.
