Marcelo Treviño
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Marcelo Treviño (born April 5, in Monterrey, Nuevo León) is a Mexican singer-songwriter and producer. He recalls his dreams of performing since the age of 10. Songwriting has always been a part of who he is.
Marcelo started out as front man for different bands in Monterrey, Mexico. Monterrey has been the Mexican cradle of the eclectic and influential international alternative-music movement. It has given birth to household names like Kinky, Ely Guerra, Control Machete, Vaquero and Plastilina Mosh. Marcelo emerges as a pop singer/songwriter from a generation of influential musicians, writers and performers.
His interest in music was so compelling that Marcelo decided to leave his native Monterrey to study music at Berklee College of Music in Boston, Massachusetts, United States. He graduated with a dual major in Film Scoring and Songwriting.
His guitar and piano, instruments that act as extensions of himself, along with his writing and singing have guided Marcelo's life. Marcelo envelops the true meaning of being a "musician".
After college Marcelo left for Toronto, Canada, where he found his new home. He took part in independent music productions as producer and arranger. After that he traveled to Monterrey temporarily to be Director of the Cultural Activities department at the Instituto Tecnológico y de Estudios Superiores de Monterrey. It wasn't long before Marcelo missed creating music. So he left his job and traveled to Peru, where he performed and wrote tirelessly.
In his album "Todo", he expresses his ideas openly, finding in the process, his own unique voice.
After performing and traveling intensely, Marcelo returned home to Toronto to write, record and pre-produce most of what his first commercial solo artist album would be. Very soon after that Overhead Music in Monterrey, México, gave him that opportunity.
Marcelo is currently on tour and promoting his first single "Niña" in Mexico, Canada, the United States, and Latin America.
