About Me.

Hi! I’m Marco, a local singer/songwriter, guitarist and loop pedal artist from Ringwood. I enjoy creating songs where I can layer my vocals using my loop pedal to create harmonies that underpin my style of music.

I released my debut album “Mindset” in May 2021 and my 2nd album “Dreams & Realities” in January 2024 with Hangover Hill Records. You can check out my original music on all the major streaming platforms – Spotify, YouTube and Bandcamp under the Hangover Hill Records webpage.

As well as original music, I do also play a big catalogue of pop and rock covers spanning from the 1960s to present day. I am a regular gigging musician who generally plays at pubs, restaurants, hotels, festivals and private events around Dorset and Hampshire. My cover material is usually showcased at these types of events.

If you’re interested in my music, check out my social media platforms (linked in the Contact Me section), where I regularly post videos, photos and gig updates.

Education & Experience

2009-2012

Learning the basics 

My musical journey began in junior school, where my music teacher, who later became my guitar instructor, inspired me to learn the instrument. As a child, I was deeply passionate about music and explored musical theatre, securing the lead role in Joseph and the Amazing Technicolor Dreamcoat. However, as I grew older, I realized my preference for singing over acting and naturally transitioned away from theatre. This shift led me to focus on developing my skills and knowledge in guitar playing, allowing me to refine my musicianship and deepen my connection to music.

2013-2019

Education and Development

During my college years, while pursuing a BTEC Music Diploma, I explored the creative possibilities of a loop pedal, learning to build layers and harmonies in my music. This experience helped me develop both my technical skills and confidence as a musician while furthering my education. It was during this time that I began songwriting, completing my first original piece—a milestone that later became part of my debut album.

I have built my career performing at gigs, festivals, weddings, and private functions, eventually having the opportunity to transition to full-time musicianship in the summer of 2024—a decision I have never looked back on. My debut album, Mindset (2021), was created during the pandemic, marking a significant step in my artistic journey. In 2024, I released Dreams and Realities, further showcasing my growth as a songwriter and musician. Over the past several years, I have been fortunate to pursue my passion, and I look forward to a future filled with creativity, performance, and new musical opportunities.
