Born in Buenos Aires (Argentina) Marcos moved to Italy when he was 15.
Marcos first appeared on stage interpreting Rock’n’Roll songs of the 50’s.
In 1998 he began a 5-year study of modern singing at the “Italian Academy Of Music” in Monza under the guidance of high-quality teachers, like Sonia Sigurta.
Marcos worked with various bands in Milan, music style ranging from Blues to Fusion and Rock.
He successfully advanced and joined the cast of “Grease” to play the part of Johnny Casino and “Jesus Christ Superstar”, where he alternated the parts of Judas and Jesus respectively.
In 2003, he joined a progressive rock band called “XP” and recorded a CD.
In 2006 he worked with a hard rock band called “Tears For Beers”.
In 2008 he performed at private parties and as “special guest” at concerts of various bands.
Giving up finding a band he can call “home”, he stumbles across the boys of “Midnite Maniac”.
Their contagious energy and musicianship give him another chance to showcase his vocal range and the opportunity to front a super band.
Time waits for no one and after all, it’s still Rock’n’Roll!

It’s a secret!
Produces “Until The Beginning” demo tape with his band ESENZEIT, reviewed favorably by many music trade journalists, which ranked 20° at the Castrocaro National Rock Contest in 1993.
Nato a Varese il 28.02.19** Quest'uomo è un mistero, e nessuno sa esattamente da dove venga,e dove sia diretto.
E'un segreto

Collaborazioni con altre bands rock locali.
2005 - Strange People (rock covers)
2006 - Convinto dal batterista Gigi Sinnone, entra in formazione nei MIDNITE MANIAC.(Official Krokus Tribute) -...che è meglio!!!!
"Did you read it in the paper 'bout the danger comin' your way. They'll tear you up at midnite. And in the light of day in hidin' they will stay. Watch out at midnite, feel their shadow on your face. Did you hear it on the radio: MIDNITE MANIC - They know where you are!"
Drummer Gigi Sinnone is a "maniac" and they all like to party at midnite!
KROKUS did not wanted to endorse an "official tribute band" without hearing the musical talent of the band.Their concern was that the cover band had to sound like KROKUS and offer great musicianship.
Consequently, MIDNITE MANIAC recorded 5 classic KROKUS songs and sent the CD to Marc Storace, Tony Castell and myself.
We all concluded that
"MIDNITE MANIAC" is the perfect and FIRST official cover band approved by KROKUS.
Please, listen to "Bad Boys - Rag Dolls" and to "Long Stick Goes Boom", both originally on 1982's KROKUS release "One Vice At A Time".
September 16th, 2006 I flew to Rheinfelden/SWITZERLAND to join KROKUS and had the privilege to meet also the entire band of MIDNITE MANIAC personally.
MIDNITE MANIAC are the nicest people you can find, similar to KROKUS.
