MARO

MARO is a multi-instrumentalist, songwriter & producer from Lisbon, Portugal. Graduating
from Berklee College of Music (Boston) in 2017, the Portuguese artist oficially debuted her
career in 2018, having released five albums + an EP. She later joined Jacob Collier on his
2019 DJESSE World Tour, as a part of the band. In those years, MARO has opened for a
lot of artists including Jessie J, Charlotte Cardin & ¿Téo?, and sold-out headline shows in
Portugal, Spain, Brazil, Mexico & USA.

In 2020, "ITSAME, MARO!" was born, a project dedicated to promoting collaboration at a
distance. The series includes 100 episodes with artists from all sorts of musical genres,
such as Eric Clapton, Lennon Stella, The Paper Kites, Pablo Alborán, Lizzy McAlpine,
Madison Cunningham, ANAVITÓRIA, Ivan Lins, Vitor Kley, Sílvia Pérez Cruz, Maria Gadú,
Mayra Andrade, Rui Veloso, Lionel Loueke & many others.

Alongside her musical calls, a collaborative EP with NASAYA was made: "PIRILAMPO". 4
songs that mark the beginning of a sonic world the two artists found together. The first of
many releases.

Most recently, MARO has won the Festival da Canção & represented her country at
Eurovision (2022) with "saudade, saudade", guaranteeing a place in the top 10. She has
also released "can you see me?”, an album that shows a new side of her, with influences
from pop, trap, world & folk.

MARO’s latest album “hortelã” (April 2023) is bringing an intimate, stripped version of her
most recent songs to life, affirming a folky acoustic presence. Mostly in Portuguese, this
album was recorded in trio, with the Catalan guitarists Darío Barroso & Pau Figueres.
