Meet Marius Aleksandersen

What first drew you into music?

When I got my first Michael Jackson cd” Bad”. I could listen to his song many hours a day. I think he had such amazing lyrics and melodies. He was my inspiration, to start with music.

You are one of the best up and coming musicians we have encountered on the internet! And your track “falling” is probably your best track yet! Could you tell us more about the story behind this track?

Thanks! I appreciate that. I wanted to make a song, that had a lot of guitar and piano sounds. For this song, I wanted it to be melodic and have this chill and smooth sound. When the track was finished, I asked my friend Silje Rom Hafnor,( who is an amazing writer and a singer) if she had any ide for lyrics. (We had worked together on previously songs “ Throw youre hands up and Feel the beat) She asked me what kind of message I wanted for this song. I wanted the song to be about, that life is not always easy, but you will rise up in the end. Then she mailed me the lyrics for this track. And it was spot on, right away.

Going over your Soundcloud we can tell you love experimenting with new sounds. Can you tell us more about your studio setup and some of your favorite plugins/instruments?

I use Logic pro x and a Macbook pro. I have an old M-audio Keyrig 49. Yamaha Studio monitor speakers. A fast track M-audio for recording of vocals, and a scarlett 2i2 Audio Interface. Some of my favorite plugins are:, Nicky Romero Kickstart and Xfer records Serum. I use this a lot.

Your signature sound is already very professional and amazing to listen to! How did you manage to achieve such a professional sound in such a short time? Can you tell us more about your musical background?

Thanks! I have learned a lot form youtube videos. I have been experimenting with different kind of sounds and styles. My musical background started when I was very young. I used to sing in a choir for a short time. As I got older I went to a school to learn more about vocals techniques and different styles of music genres. After that, I started to become more and more confidence in writing and programming songs.

All of your tracks are very melodic. Do you play any real-life instruments?

Thanks! I used to play guitar. ( I should probably take it up again) For now I am only using Logic pro x and a keyboard.

What are your goals for the coming months? Any upcoming projects we can get excited about?

My goals for the future, is to become a better producer. I think it would be interesting to work with somebody on a project! I am also hoping one day, that I could perhaps play at a festival, and producing music for others. I have also a lot of music, coming out in the near future. Thanks for your Support!
