marado
Alternative soul for people who have been through enough to cry about it, but would rather find a way to laugh.
Songs for people who feel invisible.
Marado grew up between Poughkeepsie and Brooklyn and now works from Los Angeles. His songs bring rock and pop instincts into a vivid, emotionally direct strain of R&B he calls alternative soul.
The world around the music is as hands-on as the records: direct fan access, intimate shows, games, releases, and objects built for the people who want to go deeper.
