About Me

Music has been my passion ever since I can remember the first time I layed hands on the keys of a piano. I've written, recorded, and performed hundreds of songs from all kinds of genres... except for rap. I never thought I'd be able to write a rap song. One day while I was in my studio working on another project, All these rhymes and beats started coming to me... so fast I could hardly get them written down in enough time. Before I knew it, a few hours later, my first gospel rap song was birthed. It was a song that encompassed my testimony, and ended up with a prophetic message about my own life in with the mix. It was called "River of Life". Once that song hit plastic, I had rhyme after rhyme, rhythm after rhythm coming to me left and right. That's when I realized that God was calling me into this genre of music. It gives me the freedom to relay whatever message or encouragement that God lays on my heart through poetic rhythm. I still write and perform praise and worship music, both for my personal etification unto God, and also to lead the congregation at my church during the worship service. It's no surprise how God can equip you to do things that you never thought you had the ability to do. We can do all things, and accomplish those that we never thought possible with the love and helping hand of our heavenly Father, and undying support of family and friends. I hope that you enjoy the songs featured on this page, and pray that the messages will be etifying as well as life changing. To God be all the glory... Peace, and God bless. -John-Mo p.s. the female vocals were performed by Anna Marino, as well as all the photography that is featured. you can hear some more songs featuring her vocal and song writing talents at: http://www.myspace.com/annamariamarino

My Interests

Music:

Member Since: 10/01/2007
Band Members: All the songs are written by JohnNathen Marino (that's me), with co-writing on "Mouthpiece", "If I Were The Only One", and "Note 2 Society" done by Anna Marino (my very gifted and annointed ministry partner, as well as my ever loving mother.) I play all the instruments you hear in my music, which include: Piano, guitars, bass, synth, keyboards, all percussion both live and programmed; all recording, engineering, and final mixing also done by yours truly. This is my passion, and this is my life, but ALL the Glory goes to my Heavenly Father, for nothing is possible without Him.
Influences: The Christian Rap genre today has so many different styles that it would be almost impossible to say that this album in particular sounds like or even resembles another artist. I can safely say that my biggest musical influences for "MouthPeace" aren't even included in this category of music. My daily life and struggles spiritually throughout the writing process have been the biggest influences.
Sounds Like: I write and record Christian rock, hip hop, praise and worship, and even some classical. Many who have heard my different styles tell me I have my own unique sound.
Record Label: unsigned
Type of Label: Unsigned
