The entire episode is available on the YouTube channel PODCAST BEAT'.
Glazbena zvijezda i VERN’ovac Marko Purišić, javnosti poznatiji kao Baby Lasagna, gostovao je krajem studenoga u studentskom podcastu Beat’ koji produciraju VERN’ovi studenti.
Baby Lasagna spoke with podcast host Beatta Ugrin about his exceptional international success and the fact that he is one of the few Croatian musicians to be on global charts like Billboard, something only Ivo Robić had managed to do before him.
The rest of the episode opened up space for topics he rarely talks about in public, making the conversation more honest, coherent, and much deeper than his classic media appearances. Marko shared with the students what his life is like behind the scenes and how he copes with a sudden amount of fame, high expectations, and constant public interest. He talked about the process of accepting the fact that he has the support of almost the entire country, and how he learned to see it not as pressure, but as a privilege and motivation.
Part of the conversation was also dedicated to his image. Black clothes, chains, Martens and a characteristic “cool” visual identity. He explained that this style should not be understood as distance or rebellion, but as part of his artistic personality and that at the same time there are other dimensions of him that the public is increasingly discovering: faith, emotionality, gratitude and a sincere need to stay grounded. It was the combination of aesthetics and values, as he said, that broke many stereotypes about “what a musician should look like”.
Among other things, he spoke about the private part of his life, the support his wife gives him, the importance of people close to him, as well as the routines that help him remain stable in the world of the busy music industry.
Since he studies at the same university as the rest of the podcast crew, the interview ended with him reflecting on his education and college plans, but for the full impression, it's best to watch the entire episode on YouTube .
Finally, let us point out that the student program Beat' has so far hosted numerous celebrities from social life, and after being included in the TOP 5 best student projects in Eastern Europe at the Balkan Watchers competition in Sofia this year, the Beat' team brought another episode that is strong in terms of production and extremely interesting in terms of content. All praise to the entire team.
