Artist Profile

Marin Ishida

As a Contemporary Writing and Production major at Berklee College of Music, I studied in detail, Afro-Cuban music, Brazilian music, Motown, funk, acapella, big band jazz, orchestral, and the musical stylings of Stevie Wonder. My personal music has encompassed Indian fusion, folk-electronica, and a modernized jazz standard style. I've been a long-time student of music since I started classical violin when I was 7 years old. I've written music in various contexts, but I believe songwriting is the most vulnerable form of music as it has saved me and shown me who I am in many different ways on many different occasions. It's a space where my creativity can flow and explore all the strange inexplicable emotions people feel, as I often write my songs around a giant metaphor to process my feelings. I'm grateful to have learned the production and arrangement aspect of writing music. I think of the technical skills for music as a preparation for inspiration, in the way that I would know how to create the imagery of the metaphor I created through sound.
