Born in Buenos Aires, Argentina, Marco chose guitar and started teaching and performing with different groups in the Buenos Aires scene, influenced by his love of Jazz and of Argentinian folk music tradition.  In August of 2018, he moved to New York to attend the Jazz Program of The New School of Jazz and Contemporary Music with a scholarship from The New School, and the Latin Grammy Cultural Foundation.  His quartet will perform original compositions from Grispo’s album “Parques,” as well as new compositions to be featured in their next album.

Samantha Natalie, singer/songwriter from Miami Beach, FL, released her debut full-length album entitled “A Great Wall” in June of 2011. With inspirations from singer/songwriters, such as Carol King, Carly Simon, Tori Amos, Billy Joel, and James Taylor, her sound comes out as unique, soulful, and classic to say the least.

Along with local interviews, including the South Florida Channel 6 Morning Show, Samantha Natalie and her CD, “A Great Wall”, have gone on to be featured in local and national magazines such as City Link Magazine of Ft. Lauderdale, Keyboard

Magazine, and Music Now Magazine. The CD has also been featured on Nord Piano’s website, and the title track, along with three other tracks on “A Great Wall”, have been aired on Reality TV’s Keeping Up With The Kardashians.

“I’ve been writing original music for most of my life, and every song says something different about my journey to where I am now. These songs are my release, my therapy, and my one true love.”
