Marino
Balancing a life of leisure with a humble dedication to his craft, Los Angeles-based musician Marino makes music that mirrors his life. Guided by authenticity, the songwriter, producer, and proven artist discovered his passion for music during his formative years in South Florida playing and performing in bands inspired equally by both pop and punk. Marino’s youth was one defined by collaboration and peer enlightenment- virtues that forged him into the leader he is today. Walking a tight rope between hip-hop, pop, and electro-R&B, Marino’s music today rejects modern genre queues and instead embraces the formless nature of sound itself.
In addition, his writing credits and recent collaborations include MOD SUN, blackbear, Charlotte Sands, Bryce Vine, Fame On Fire, Said The Sky, Sueco, Huddy, Cassadee Pope, Lil Aaron, Bad Wolves, Chri$tian Gate$, Lauren Weintraub, Chandler Leighton, Plain White Tees, The Struts, Lil Lotus, Sad Alex, Connor Kaufmann, Lenii, Oliver The Kid, Quinton Griggs, No Love For The Middle Child, Boon, John Harvie, MKLA, Jacob Sartorious, Tana Mongeau, Slushii, poutyface, Terror JR. and many more…
Notably, Marino’s influential collaboration with MOD SUN and blackbear on their single “Heavy” dominated streaming charts by tapping a cool 1 million streams in just 24 hours. In 2024 Marino joined Fame On Fire as they took their single "Nightmare" to #15 at US Mainstream Rock Airplay Radio. With well over 100 million streams spanning his own discography, a handful of sync placements with American Express, Go Pro, MTV, + a handful of film/movies and signing a deal in 2021 with Lava Publishing/Primary Wave, Marino’s innovation continues to manifest triumph. A pathfinder behind the scenes and in front of the mic, Marino’s relentless effort to discover newness in both sound and spirit is preserved by a bold appreciation for life’s simplicities. The world as his canvas, Marino translates life’s little moments in love and laughter into songs that are at once celebratory and deeply affecting.
