Guillermo is the oldest, 38, the last 14 in the United States. A country of which he is already a citizen, without losing an iota of his affection for the Zaragoza neighborhood of Las Delicias, where he spent his childhood and where he lived when he participated in ‘menudas estrellas’ at the age of 12 Was, television ‘genius’. is 25 as of March and is completing her fifth semester of music studies at Berklee (Boston), The world’s most famous music university, where his brothers also passed out between 2099 and 2012. The Marin brothers, both students of the Miguel Catalan Institute, left Zaragoza for the United States thanks to their musical talent and the merit scholarship that they awarded. The door to an apprenticeship many people dream of.
Guillermo now lives in a residential area near Los Angeles with his wife, Maria, and their daughters, Mia and Alma (ages 6 and 2). Half an hour drive from Hollywood Blvd. “Hearing Mar brings back some wonderful memories of my experience at Berklee. I now have my studio in Santa Clarita, where we moved in 2020. It’s heaven to raise two little girls, and we’re not too far from downtown Are. My main project is the educational music production company Secretos de Mezcla, And it’s going well, but I still work in feature productions, although now I can choose more”.
March, who grew up in Montcanal, has just over a year left in Boston. “I couldn’t be happier with the experience. I specialize, and although the study load is heavy, I feel like I’m getting closer to what I want to do. I’ve covered many areas; Berklee to me means going as far as I can in everything. I have a holistic vision of music. I’m emphasizing arrangements, and I also like the area of jazz ‘big bands’, as well as audiovisual-oriented post-production: from sound design to special effects. I love sound engineering, which has many different disciplines, and of course the possibility of writing songs.”
Another record for Banbury
Although he has a background as an interpreter, Guillermo has spent a long decade in the California megalopolis as a professional in composing, arranging and recording. “When I got to Los Angeles, Enrique Bunbury was pivotal, He trusted my work as soon as I came here from Berklee, and I’ve been able to collaborate with him many times. Right now, in fact, we’re writing songs together for their next album. He is a tireless, passionate worker. Producer and engineer Rafa Sardina has been another fundamental figure to my career over the years; I have learned a lot from him musically and vitally. It was also great to work with George Massenberg, inventor of the parametric equalizer, engineer of Earth, Wind & Fire, Linda Ronstadt, Herbie Hancock, Billy Joel or the Dixie Chicks. a great”.
Mara, who plans to release her own song at the end of the summer, wants to move to California after completing her studies. “My brother has always been my mentor and my family has always given me confidence. Boston is a beautiful city, but I like the music scene in Los Angeles, I want to think big. Also, it means having family there: that’s very important. And it’s sunny!”
At Berklee, Mar has had great teaching experiences. “John Escobar, the sound engineer, has been very helpful; thanks to him, Simone Torres chose one of my songs for one of her ‘clinics’ this year. She is a vocal producer and has worked with Beyoncé or Becky G . See how it is handled impressively, seems to float, has an aura of very self-confident people, who, however, are not arrogant. Well, and Recently Childish Gambino, an incredible artist, came to talk to us. He insisted that you always have someone who dares to tell you the truth. I know my brother will.”
Guillermo shows off his chest when talking about hitting. “All she really needs is a little help from her older brother; more and more logistics when she moves. Since she was a child, she has already demonstrated tremendous talent, has taken the proper steps to train and Will know how to handle your fight in this highly competitive city. She’ll do well in whatever she does because of her intelligence and social skills: everyone loves her.”
