Mišo Kovač was born to Zrinka and Jakov Kovač on 16 July 1941 in Tribunj, a modern-day Croatian town close to Šibenik at a time when the region was under Italian occupation during World War II. He had a sister named Blanka and a brother named Ratko.

While still young Mišo Kovač was learning the trade of carpet maker, but his appearance at a talent show in Karlovac changed his life. There, he made such an impression with his rendition of I Can’t Stop Loving You by Ray Charles that he decided to become a professional singer. His first hit came in 1964 with the song Više se neće vratiti (written by Đorđe Novković, sold in half a million copies) and in 1970 he won the prestigious Split Music Festival with the song Proplakat će zora (also half a million copies).

Most of his songs were inspired by Dalmatian folk music, and soon Mišo Kovač establish himself as the most popular musician of the former Yugoslavia. In the next two decades, Mišo Kovač won many prestigious festival awards, topped music charts and sold vinyl discs, cassettes and CDs in record numbers. His song Dalmacija u mom oku (Dalmatia In My Eye) was and still is seen as a semi-official anthem of Dalmatia.

Mišo Kovač was also one of the first entertainers in the country to use image and lifestyle in order to maintain popularity.
