Max Marinaio

Born: February 25, 1964

Compositore, chitarrista, cantante iscritto alla SIAE sin dal '90. Attualmente compone ed arrangia i propri brani scrivendo tutte le parti strumentali (contrabbasso, piano, strumenti a fiato e quant'altro).
Inizia a suonare sin da piccolo formandosi sulla chitarra classica come autoditatta e sviluppando uno stile ed un tocco personali. Poco interessato all'aspetto puramente performativo inizia ben presto a comporre materiale proprio sia sulla chitarra che su una pianola elettrica sostanzialmente blues, soul, bossanova e canzoni jazz.
Crea la prima band a 22 anni ma dedica del tempo a imparare la scrittura musicale per iscriversi alla SIAE e proteggere i propri brani.
Negli anni 90 crea il proprio sistema midi che gli consente di sviluppare le proprie doti di arrangiatore.
Inizia a pubblicare nei primi anni 2000. Nel 2005 Fonda i Flying Cats con cui arriva alla finale del Pistoia Blues In.
Nel 2008 acquista un basso semiacustico che usa soprattutto nelle registrazioni in studio.
