Intro

Marc Scibilia is a quintessential modern American singer-songwriter whose career bridges the gap between traditional folk storytelling and contemporary pop production. Born in Buffalo and based in East Nashville, his sound is characterized by a distinctive raspy vocal delivery and a multi-instrumental approach that frequently features piano and acoustic guitar.

His breakthrough came via high-profile sync placements, notably 'How Bad We Need Each Other' on the TV show Bones, which established his reputation for emotionally resonant, cinematic songwriting. Scibilia has demonstrated significant versatility, moving from the stripped-back Americana of his early work to the 'synth-folk' explorations of his later albums. His collaboration with Robin Schulz on 'Unforgettable' showcased his ability to translate his intimate songwriting into a global electronic-pop context. Critically, he is regarded as a craftsman of 'ordinary greatness,' focusing on themes of family, heritage, and the working-class experience. His influence web connects him to both the sensitive indie-folk scene (Andrew Belle, Joshua Radin) and the more anthemic pop-rock world, making him a staple for film and television music supervisors.
