Mark Kovic is a British singer-songwriter and producer, born and raised just outside of London, in Brentwood, Essex UK.
Paying his dues for the best part of a decade on the open mic night circuits of London and Brighton, Kovic cultivated his strong baritone voice with nothing but an acoustic guitar in-hand, learning the importance of writing, and dedication to the craft of making compelling music.
In a world of short attention spans and sugar-sweet pop, Kovic's increasing profile has been far from an overnight success story. Instead he speaks for the independently-minded creators, empowering the idea of building your own foundations through music, and there is a certain realist honesty in that which seems to cut through when listening to the genuinely felt lyrical choices and soulful and sincere delivery in dark soulful songs like 'Nobody Like You' and 'If You Don't Love Me'.
Kovic's first step into the arena of a note-worthy independent artist was his collection of brooding yet joyful songs on debut album 'Running Underwater' which has spawned over 40 million streams at the time of writing. Enjoying a breakthrough moment in 2019, Radio 1 invited Kovic to perform live at the Royal Albert Hall for a special BBC introducing broadcast, as lead single 'Drown' found it's way into being featured in the EA games FIFA franchise cementing Kovic's music in the mind of 50 million gamers.
'Playing With Fire' is the second studio album from Kovic, released in late 2021.
