‘Hollow’<\/h2>\n

By Gina Malone<\/p>\n

\"\"Asheville-based artist and producer M A R has released a new single titled \u201cHollow,\u201d an \u00d3yelo Music Productions collaboration with LA-based songwriter and producer Anton Patzner. The song speaks to artists being at the mercy of their muses. \u201cThere is this greater force within that doesn\u2019t run on tap, and just like any other relationship it demands attention, takes over you and also can drive you to the brink of madness,\u201d says M A R. \u201cAnd that\u2019s when the magic happens\u2026for which I\u2019m so grateful.\u201d<\/p>\n

Born in Peru, M A R brings to his music a vast landscape that includes early, traditional Peruvian and Latin American music influences as well as the discovery, since living in WNC, of country, blues and folk vibes. \u201cI believe my music is a reflection of how my two cultures have merged,\u201d he says.<\/p>\n

He does not create music for a specific age group or demographic, but aims for a diverse range of listeners. \u201cHowever,\u201d he adds, \u201cmy listeners know they are coming to me to feel big feelings, maybe get nostalgic and get on the dance floor!\u201d M A R plays shows locally with his band M A R and The Marmeladies.<\/p>\n

Music found M A R at an early age. \u201cI remember picking up a tambourine at three at a family party to accompany the guitar player,\u201d he says. \u201cI started reading music on the recorder at four, and from then on I never stopped.\u201d Years of trauma, loss and disconnection were made more bearable by music. \u201cMusic has always given me that sense of wellbeing and safety,\u201d the LGBTQ+ artist says. \u201cBeing able to fully inhabit myself as I write, create and perform my music has been a direct line to my healing. My embodiment as a Latinx artist, and my queer look, is an opportunity to be a visible advocate for my community here and everywhere.\u201d<\/p>\n

The song is available on all major streaming and digital download platforms. To learn more, visit MARMusicOfficial.com<\/a>.<\/em><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
