Marko Perković

Marko Perković, better known by his stage name Thompson, is a Croatian far-right nationalist rock singer-songwriter. Born in the village of Čavoglave, he participated in the Croatian War of Independence (1991–1995), during which he started his musical career with the nationalist song "Bojna Čavoglave" in 1991. He achieved commercial success during the late 1990s and early 2000s, with the albums Vjetar s Dinare (1998) and E, moj narode (2002). His domestic success continued with Bilo jednom u Hrvatskoj (2006), Ora et labora (2013), and Hodočasnik (2025). Perković leans strongly into traditional themes, singing about the Croatian homeland, family, and Christianity.
