Known as Maro, born and raised in Beirut, singer/songwriter Marwan
Daou creates the sort of deceptively simple pop songs that contain
deep layers of feeling. As a kid growing up in Lebanon, he started
writing songs in his mid-teens in order to cope with the loneliness of
constantly moving, and within a year began busking on the streets of
his hometown. A self-taught guitarist and classically trained piano
player, he also amassed a devoted online fanbase of a 1,000,000
followers across all platforms, thanks to his covers of songs by
artists as eclectic Radiohead, Lil Peep, and XXXTentacion . With a
vocal presence that’s quietly captivating—and a tremendous singing
talent that includes performing in seven different languages.
As he ventured into writing his own music, Maro started sharing
snippets of it on Instagram and Youtube, which quickly raised the
demand for the release of his original music, giving a mix of both sad
and emo vibe, but still a hint of pop to them. He now makes his
official debut with a series of singles both sweetly understated and
emotionally powerful.
