Marc Durandeau
Marc burst onto the music scene during the 1990s, right after winning first prize in the singer-songwriter category of the Exit contest, organized by Catalonia's National Television and Radio. After releasing two albums in Catalan with the Picap record label, he traveled to Havana, where for two months he immersed himself in the music ‘Descargas’ of Cuban singer-songwriters such as Heidi Igualada, Marta Campos, Pedro Luis Ferrer, among others.
Marc accepted an invitation to travel to Miami to develop his first Spanish project. He worked with UMPG collaborating on writing songs for international artists such as Chayanne ("Cuidarte el alma") and Tamara ("Perfecto").
Some of Marc's songs and compositions have received awards such as the BMI Latin Award, Telemundo Composer of the Year, a Latin Grammy nomination, reaching number One on Billboard's Hot Latin Tracks, and a special nomination at the Malaga International Film Festival for the music of the film 'La Noche Que Murió Elvis' (The Night Elvis Died).
Marc has lived in various countries over a span of 24 years: Spain, United States, Luxembourg, France, and Germany. Always focused on songwriting, music production, composing jingles and soundtracks as well as giving singing and songwriting workshops at private and public schools.
His experiences in different countries helped him develop a multicultural musical style, blending local music genres and languages into his songs.
