Manuel Marino

In the artist’s words: Describe one of your earliest musical memories in detail. One of my earliest and most unforgettable musical memories is when my father gave me my first real synthesizer, a Korg M1 with its 8 track sequencer. I was completely amazed by all the sounds and creative possibilities at my fingertips. What are your top 3 all-time favorite albums on Apple Music, and why? Why did you choose these three albums in particular? Lauren Daigle, Look Up Child Michael W. Smith, A New Hallelujah (Live) Steven Curtis Chapman, Worship and Believe “Look Up Child” inspires me with its soulful vocals. It beautifully blends faith and emotion. “Worship and Believe”, I appreciate the sincerity and honesty. “A New Hallelujah”, this live worship album captures a special energy and sense of community. Find a song of yours on Apple Music that you love and tell us what makes it special. Tell us why you chose this song. “Fight for Love: Faith and Redemption” This piece reflects the timeless story of Adam and Eve, faith, and redemption. It was originally composed for a film soundtrack, but even though the project ended, the song lives on with its message. What’s one of the most memorable moments in your career so far? One of the most memorable moments in my career was hearing my music featured in a film for the very first time. Listening to my composition as it became part of the story on screen was an emotional experience I will never forget. Is there anything left on your bucket list as an artist or band? Absolutely! As an artist, I believe there is always something new to discover and achieve. One of my biggest dreams is to perform my music live with a full orchestra, sharing that energy and emotion directly with an audience.
