ABOUT
MENINO MARINO is the stage name of portuguese musician and producer ANDRÉ MARINO. With influences in prog rock and metal, the artist began his journey in music by playing guitar from an early age. As he grew older, he extended his horizons, implementing, in his music, electronic and alternative influences.
Since childhood, music has always been a constant in MENINO MARINO's household, either through his father playing his old vinyls of greats like Pink Floyd, Genesis, Yes or Kratftwerk, or through his older brother showing him more modern names like Kanye West, Daft Punk or Justice.
During his teenage years, he took a keen interest in learning how to play the guitar, highly influenced by Pink Floyd’s David Gilmour. As time went on he continued to experience with sound and music production, learning other instruments such as synths and bass.
Eventually, he came across a collection of songs he thought were good enough to be out there for everyone to listen to. This was how THE THIRD SUSPECT, his debut EP, came to life, and how his carreer started.
