Boris Novković is a Croatian singer-songwriter. His interest in a musical career was cultivated by his family background, with a mother who taught music, and a father, Đorđe Novković, who was a leading Croatian songwriter and music manager. He released his first album, "Kuda idu izgubljene djevojke" in 1986, selling 120,000 copies, while his follow-up release in 1987, "Jaci od sudbine", sold 160,000 copies and remained his highest-selling album to date. Two more successful albums followed: "Dok svira radio" in 1988 and "Obojeni snovi" in 1989.
In 1990, he narrowly missed out on the chance to represent Yugoslavia at the Eurovision Song Contest with the song "Dajana" but in 2005, fifteen years after his near miss in the Yugoslav pre-selection, Novković won the right to represent the now independent Croatia at the Eurovision Song Contest. He performed his song "Vukovi umiru sami".
Novković represented the country in the Eurovision Song Contest Kyiv 2005 (2005) in Kiev and finished 11th with 115 points. He was also the composer of "Moja stikla", Croatian entry in the Eurovision Song Contest Athens 2006 (2006), performed by Severina.
