I (Mari O.) am a Singer Song Writer, Entertainer and Producer.
A Senior Idol Finalist in 2016. An Award Winning Composer with 35+ years of experience in the Music Industry.
I studied Music and Music Education at Florida International University. Earned a Bachelor's Degree from Regents College in New York.
My Eclectic approach to Music shapes the Band's Musical Sound. This unique mix of genres include: Dance, Classic Rock, Pop, Latin, Jazz, Sing-Along, Blues, Doo Wop, Ballad, Instrumental and Caribbean Music.
When I am not performing as a Solo Artist, I am accompanied by my Band - Mari O. and the "Q" Band - which may consist of a Duo, Trio or Quartet. At times you may also find me at a Corporate Event playing with a Seven Piece Orchestra.
One thing is for certain-whether I play on an Intimate Stage like the Italian American Social Club in Palm Coast, Florida - The Sophisticated Fontainebleau Hotel in Miami Beach, Fl. The Straz in Tampa, Fl. Or a World Class Venue as Ruth Eckerd Hall in Clearwater, Florida... You will be Entertained!

Mari provided the best performance and most unforgettable experience on our wedding. He was very thoughtful and willing to work with all the last minute plan change. He arrived early to set up. The music was wonderful. Everyone at the wedding told me how much they enjoyed having Mari playing at the wedding, especially my father in law kept telling me all the songs Mari played and they were his favorite. The kids were dancing around Mari. You don’t need any fancy band. Mari will meet all your requirements for the excellent performance

Mari O. recently played for us at our wedding reception and was fantastic in every aspect. He took the personal time to work with us on our song selection both live and some we asked him to DJ. He worked with us on timing, played and sang wonderfully and had everyone entertained. We highly recommend him for anyone looking for a musician who goes above and beyond with that personal touch! Thank you Mari O. for being such a great part of our special day!!
