Today we’d like to introduce you to Maryon King.
Hi Maryon, we’d love for you to start by introducing yourself.
Was born in Moldova and raised in Padova, Italy. I did all my schooling in Italy. I always wanted to do music, but my parents are very traditional and didn’t want to me to struggle since the industry is hard to succeed in. So, I would sing in secret. I’d lock myself in my room, watch Lana Del Rey, and sing. I borrowed money from a family friend to pay for singing lessons. I did this for a year in secret. That’s how I worked on my voice and vocals – it was really tough fighting to do music. They were supportive of everything else but that.
Then, I moved to London, a city of performance opportunities where I could work on myself as an artist.
Can you talk to us a bit about the challenges and lessons you’ve learned along the way? Looking back, would you say it’s been easy or smooth in retrospect?
I have always loved music and knew I wanted to pursue a career in the industry since I was 11 years old, but I also faced many struggles, like switching from a Spanish/English degree to a music degree while I was studying in London and trying to convince my parents that it was a great idea. It took them a long time to accept the path that I wanted to take. Also, I struggled with adapting to new environments all my life. From Moldova to London and from London to LA. So many countries with so many music styles. I felt like I had to restart from zero every time I moved somewhere.
Thanks – so, what else should our readers know about your work and what you’re currently focused on?
I am an artist/singer/songwriter originally from Moldova/Italy, raised in London and now live in LA. I am known for my song Boys Will Be Boys, for having toured with Sigala in the UK, and for writing with a lot of renowned producers and songwriters.
I am the most proud when I come up with a great melody and a great lyric line in a music session.
I’d say my vocal tone and melodie writing is what sets me apart from others.
Can you share something surprising about yourself?
I speak 6 languages (Italian, Moldovan, Spanish, Latin, German, and English). I was born in Moldova, though!
I have an obsession for perfumes and good tiramisus!! After all, I was raised for the majority of my life in Italy.
