Born in poverty-stricken Beirut, it became clear to Maro from a young age his voice could be the ticket to a better life. Consequently, he became the walking definition of a ‘self starter.’ By his early teens, Maro was fluent in 4 languages (French, Arabic, Russian, English) and he can currently sing in 7 languages
Maro moved many times throughout his upbringing amidst war-torn Lebanon. Emerging from his chaotic surroundings was music – a much-needed constant and creative outlet. He began playing piano in 2nd grade and eventually joined a music school and started writing songs. He taught himself guitar from online tutorials, all while devouring every culturally-relevant musical genre: heavy metal and old-school hip hop, 90s grunge to chart-topping pop.
Maro began to see success after uploading covers to his YouTube channel, which grew immensely, seeing 28 million views on Youtube in the last year.
His newest track is called, “carsick” and it’s got some incredibly catchy lyrics that will get stuck in your head. The hook begins with him saying. “Girl you make me car sick, Late night in the bar sick,” and it makes you want to stand up and grab someone and immediately begin to dance! Check out the track below.

Flow-bending artist aSanTIS discusses art, culture, and whether sound can solve the world’s problems in celebration of Hispanic Heritage Month.
My interview with Amy Santis aka aSanTIS began in the most unexpected way. The Maryland-based flow-bending artist and lyrical storyteller came prepared to engage in conversation around questions I had posed – and she also brought one or two of her own thoughtful prompts based on her curiosities around my view of learning.
This practice of taking in her surroundings deeply through observation and inquiry has come naturally to aSanTIS ever since she was a young child. In terms of her early starts in music, she notes that she began as a discerning listener. “Just listening to music from my mom, on the radio, just being a consumer in the world of sound. But I think mainly, my mom has always loved dancing and listening to music, so that was sort of like second nature. We play music at gatherings, we play music in the car, and these songs are sort of like diaries that take us into a specific place.”
