He has one album, "Kompromis", which was initially published through MTV Adria and later added on Bassivity Digital label, with all his other solo work.

As a teenager, he discontinued acting and singing and became an underground comic artist with dozens of other artists' and self-published fanzines. Marković started using his alias "LoOney: in 1999 as art-name. In 2002, with a group of friends, he created and managed "Šlic Comix", an alternative comics magazine and weekly workshop. Some comics were re-published internationally, and exhibitions traveled around Serbia, Croatia, Bosnia, Macedonia, Slovenia, Romania, Italy, and Sweden. Marković later stopped drawing, but wrote for other artists. In 2002, he started directing and editing hip-hop music videos. Six years later, he became a filmmaker in Serbia.

In 2004, Marković self-published his first solo single "Jutro (Pametnije Od Noći)" with accompanying music video which got No. 2 place on, at that point, only domestic music video chart in Serbia on TV Metropolis. Marković was featured on other artists' albums and singles, including Struka's "Tajne", Lud's "Geto Riba" with accompanying music video featuring stars of a movie "Mi Nismo Anđeli 2."
