about maro
DJ. Producer. Liberation witch.
Saying Maro is a DJ is like saying Michelin omakase is a meal - technically true, but the understatement of the century. Maro is a steward of the vibe, a bringer-to-life of the dance floor you didn’t know you always needed, an artist with impeccable taste and masterful range - and she gives you your new favorite memories via DJing.
Maro spent the first half of her life in Japan, Seattle, San Diego, and Colorado, including ten years of classical training in voice and piano and being self-taught on guitar. Maro harnesses that rich tapestry of influences into her sound, weaving afro beats, Latin house and urban and nature sounds into her home sweet home of tech house and dark techno.
As Maro rockets into her third year behind the decks in 2024, her first two years have seen a rapid ascent to direct support and sharing stages for notable artists such as Secondcity, Shaded, Anabel Englund, Atroxx, N2N, MZ Worthy, Hannes Bieger, Ash Lauryn, Rumpus, Baby Weight and Shouse. She curates her signature Maro party series bi-annually in her hometown of Denver, and is consistently in demand for shows and radio mixes from Colorado to New York to Burning Man & beyond.
It's not just Maro's skillful blend of genres that sets her apart—it's her electric energy behind the decks and attunement to each unique crowd that makes her an unforgettable performer. Her sets are more than performances, they’re celebrations of expression and journeys of curiosity and depth that aren’t just heard, but deeply felt.
“Many of my favorite shamans are rock stars. they probably don’t even know they’re shamans but they know how to get to ecstasy and back, and how to take others with them. they may not have a license, but they know how to drive.”
