Marco Cera
Marco's interest in music already began in the nursery; grown up in the late 80s and early 90s he's always been looking for new melodies, groovy beats and sweeping rhythms. In the middle of the 90s he found a musical genre that fits very well: Trance music!
Marco very early had the wish to play this kind of music in front of people just to show them that there's much more outside than just Pop, Rock or House music; so he began to learn DJing in a youth club back in 1999. Two years later he was allowed to show his skills in front of 1.000 people at a local discotheque because he was learning very fast and had a very unique taste of music and style of mixing tracks together. A lot of people were very thankful that someone finally wasn't playing only the standard you could hear every single day on the radio but playing unknown tracks and remixes of well-known tracks. Marco always had the right track at the right time, mixing House with Trance and Techno all in one set; that's his whole life and he's never wanting to change that!
In 2005 Marco was looking for a DJ and producer name because he started producing on his laptop whilst spending his holidays on Ibiza. The idea for 'mar she' was born pretty fast and it didn't take long until he reached his first goals. In 2007 and 2008 he won several prices at 2 DJ contests on Paul van Dyk's very own 'Vonyc' radio. His sets were played at the 'Reticent Mix Session' and at the 'DJ Mag Mix Competition Week'. As it wasn't enough gigs around the globe, with big names like Kyau & Albert, Talla 2XLC, Stoneface & Terminal, Ronski Speed, Markus Schulz, Neelix, Cosmic Gate, Sander van Doorn or even Paul van Dyk followed!
At the end of 2016 Marco changed his artist name from 'mar she' to 'Marco Cera' and he started producing again. The first officially released track was a collaboration with Alan Morris which had great success on Armin van Buuren’s very own imprint A State Of Trance in 2017. It was followed by their collab 'The Deepest Truth' in 2024, which had even bigger success. The track became the 'Progressive Pick' on the ASOT 1181 radio show and was also part of the 'A State Of Trance 2024' mix-compilation by Armin van Buuren. Although more collaborations with his mate are already scheduled, you’ll probably hear some original singles, remixes and edits from Marco aswell!
So, watch out for this great artist and manager in the coming years! You don't want to miss the paths of his career!
