Remember this name: MARCIN.Already captivating audiences worldwide with just a guitar in hand, MARCIN takes his signature style and solo arranger talent to new heights on his long-awaited debut album: Dragon in Harmony. The album, set for release on Sony Music Masterworks, includes original compositions as well as a vast repertoire of covers (Justin Timberlake, Sade, Nirvana, Miles Davis/Bill Evans, Debussy, Mozart) arranged by the guitar prodigy and co-produced with Dan Book (blink-182, Shania Twain, Britney Spears). Joined by the band Portugal. The Man and singer-songwriter Delaney Bailey, as well as guitarists Tim Henson and Ichika Nito, the Polish-born phenomenon has assembled 14 tracks that span all genres and seamlessly blend into a powerful artistic statement."I was born in 2000, the year of the dragon, and I'm releasing my first album in 2024, another year of the dragon, so the idea felt very natural," Marcin says of his debut album. "And then there's this idea of harmony, which is the opposite of all that. In recent years, I've done a lot of things, but I haven't necessarily fused them into a whole—everything was fragmented. But today, I'm finally making an artistic statement that is coherent rather than fractured. The dragon is in harmony."Opening the album with a set of original compositions cleverly titled "Guitar Is Dead" and "I Killed It," Marcin makes a bold and assertive statement about the state of the guitar and his personal journey as an artist, brilliantly blending melody, harmony, and hand percussion."Guitar Is Dead" is in a way my response to guitar purists," Marcin says of the first part of the album, before continuing: "It's me declaring: Yes, you're right. The guitar is dead. Keep doing everything that's been done before. My goal has always been to show a wide audience that my playing style is just another way to play the guitar—there's no barrier to entry."Acclaimed by Rolling Stone, Billboard, Premier Guitar, and Guitar World, which named him "one of the most talented guitarists of his generation," Marcin has won millions of fans and followers, performance after performance, whether through his online videos or appearances on hit TV shows. Marcin's virtuosic technique has earned him recognition from artists of all genres and generations, from guitar heroes like Tom Morello and Paul Stanley, to pop icons like Madonna and Jungkook (BTS), and even hip-hop heavyweights like Timbaland and Ty Dolla Sign. His first world tour is already sold out in Asia and North America...
