Marco first discovered turn tables at the tender age of 13. He grew up with two older DJ brothers who lived and breathed music. So naturally, having quite the influence on him that big brothers do, he followed in their footsteps and took up the family trade.  Not long after that, he realized that he had an equal knack and passion for this DJ thing. And with very little experience under his belt, he managed to convince his principal to let him DJ his own grade 8 graduation. It was that very first gig that marked the beginning of a successful 18 year old (and counting) career for him. He had found his purpose. 

        Breaking into Toronto's after hours scene was quite the homecoming for Marco. He graced the tables of places such as Guvernment, Fluid, Mad Bar, It, Inside, Venue, Casino, Posh, Lily's and too many more to name. He became a monthly resident of 'Breathe' Fridays at System Sound Bar- a euphoric establishment responsible for bringing into the city some big international talent. And all the while, he continued to let the greats such as Terry Mullen, DJ Dan, Derrick Carter, DJ Sneak, Armand Van Helden, Fedde Le Grand, Mark Farina, Mark Knight, Kaskade and one of his all time favorites Daft Punk influence the crap out of him.

       Marco's dreams had finally come true when he found himself opening up for acts Nick Warren. After many years of marveling at these legends from a far, he was finally very much a part of the mayhem that projected from the platform straight towards the extended arms reaching towards God. But he had never felt as close to God as he did on the night he had opened for Mark Farina. A night that would stay with him for many years to come. An enthralling night he would never forget.
