Marko Perković is a Croatian musician who has been the lead singer of the band Thompson since 1991.
Perković was born in the village of Čavoglave, SR Croatia, within SFR Yugoslavia, today a part of Croatia. He participated in the Croatian War of Independence, during which he started his career with the nationalist song "Bojna Čavoglave". In 2002, he started his first major tour after the release of the E, moj narode album. Since 2005, he has been organizing an unofficial celebration of the Victory Day in his birthplace of Čavoglave.
During his career, Perković has attracted controversy in the media over his performances and songs, some of which are alleged to glorify or promote the World War II-era Croatian fascist Ustaše dictatorship.
