Marian Hill

A Philadelphia electronic pop duo comprised of Jeremy Lloyd (production/songwriting) and Samantha Gongol (vocals/songwriting). The pairs roots can be traced back as far as a middle school talent show that saw Lloyd - the son of a conductor and an opera singer - hear Gongol sing for the first time. Many a moon down the line, following a stint studying music composition at college for Lloyd while Gongol was cutting her teeth in New York as a songwriter, the pair reunited in the formers bedroom studio.

Citing influences ranging from Cole Porter to Kanye, from Ella Fitzgerald to Drake, while many artists define themselves by the mixture of inspirations theyve concocted, Marian Hill go one step further: fusing disparate sources into a compound sound thats hard to imagine ever having been apart.

Marian Hill is joined live by bassist and saxophonist Steve Davit. Read more on Last.fm. User-contributed text is available under the Creative Commons By-SA License; additional terms may apply.
