Marko Purišić (28), stage name Baby Lasagna, is a Croatian singer-songwriter born in Umag, a small city on the northwest coast of the Baltic country, in 1995. He was a guitarist for the rock band Manntra from 2011 to 2022, when he decided to start his solo musical project. His first song with his renamed name was ‘IG Boy’, released in October 2023.

More information

The singer, who has practically just started his solo career, combines punk, metal and house, daring to combine commercial electronic sounds with more countercultural ones, always sings in English and uses very catchy choruses with a slightly robotic and energetic voice. The song with which he represents Croatia in Eurovision, ‘Rim Tim Tagi Dim’, has an accelerated dance rhythm punctuated by the sound of an electric guitar, drums and a powerful chorus singing with a rage that captivates.

The staging of the performance is also groundbreaking, being one of the most impressive in the first semifinal of the contest held last Tuesday. The strength of the song becomes more relevant with its deep lyrics, which reflect on the rural exodus of young people in Europe who are forced to leave their town to find success in the big city. The singer talks about the anxiety and pain of a boy who has to say goodbye to his loved ones and prepare to start a new life alone. All these components make Baby Lasagna the betting favorite to win the 2024 Eurovision Song Contest and take the big crystal microphone to Croatia.

I’m going to miss them, but my cat more,

I’ll miss my hay, I’ll miss my bed

But most of all I will miss the dance,

So let’s all go, let’s play.

Now don’t call, don’t write,

I will leave at dawn,

don’t cry but dance

There is no turning back (woah),

my presence fades into darkness (woah).

Yes, there is no turning back (woah),

anxiety attacks me (woah)
