S2 E68 MICHAEL MARINO Drummer for Divebar Youth, Ella & Sienna Music, Lazaro Ernesto Numa Pompa, and Claudia Migliaccio Music

Michael Marino joins me in The Engine Room this week to discuss his musical journey. Michael is the son of the most popular guest that I have interviewed so far this season Mario Marino (S2 E4). Michael was born to be a drummer, his dad Mario Marino even mentioned this during his interview earlier this season. Michael was drawn to drums from a very young age and spent his time bashing away on pots, pans, ice cream containers, and Lego until he finally received his own junior kit. Although Michael's dad is a drummer himself, he has never forced Michael to follow in his footsteps', he didn't need to as Michael simply loves drumming! Michael was educated at Rostrevor College where he was fortunate enough to study music under a music scholarship, due to his obvious talent from the very young age of 4. He played in numerous lineups whilst attending school, including Generations in Jazz and his first official band 'The Tour Guides', which he joined when he was 14. Michael has often jumped up to play with some of Adelaide's best Blues Band's replacing his dad behind the kit for a few songs. He showed everyone just how talented he is at B.B Kings on Beale Street, when he accompanied his dad on a trip to Memphis in 2019. His dad's band 'One More Mile' were competing at the International Blues Challenge, and Michael got up to play with some of the Youth In Blues musicians that were there to compete in the competition during an open jam session. Michael is undertaking a Bachelor of Music in Jazz Performance at the Elder Conservatorium, at the University of Adelaide. He currently performs with Ella & Sienna Music, Claudia Migliaccio Music, Divebar Youth, and with Lazaro Ernesto Numa Pompa. He teaches drumming in schools as well as privately, please email Michael at [email protected] to make enquires for lessons.
