Mark Borino

Mark Borino is a Nutley, New Jersey native who's been grinding in the music game for over a decade as a songwriter, producer, and artist. Growing up, he discovered his love for music in middle school choir, graduated Nutley High in 2010, briefly attended William Paterson University before dropping out to chase his dreams, and snagged an audio engineering cert from SAE Institute. After years of pitching tracks, he hit big when Drake picked one of his songs for the 2021 album *Certified Lover Boy*, kickstarting his rise—he's since written and produced for others while dropping his own jams blending **hip-hop, R&B, dance, and pop** with real emotional depth.

These days, Borino's all about that DIY vibe, crafting beats on laptops thanks to YouTube tutorials and software, and he's released over 30 original tracks like *All My Life*, *Nobody Else*, and *Headlights*. His voice and style pack a punch, always reflecting who he is, and he's even lent vocals to collabs like KOVAN's *Thrill Is Gone* on NoCopyrightSounds back in 2018.
