A native New Yorker, MaryAnne Marino has been performing as a recognized vocalist in the Big Apple for many years. She has become a seasoned favorite of the New York City music scene, including the likes of The Living Room, the Bowery Ballroom, and Joe’ s Pub, just to name a few. She has developed a very dedicated fan base, starting with her first commercial performances with the October Project, leading to her becoming the lead vocalist for the group, and then renamed the November Project. In the following years, she continued to develop her craft, studying jazz voice at SUNY Purchase, and also performed in theaters in the Northeastern U.S., until she teamed up with producer Peter Zizzo, known for work with artist such as Avril Lavigne, Celine Dion, and Vanessa Carlton. This partnership spawned Marino’s release of her first solo album, titled “Ghost of Youâ€, which beautifully combines ambrosial melodies and rock edginess with her smooth and sultry vocals.
She is currently in the process of completing her second follow-up album, due to be released in spring 2008.
