Husband-and-wife team TRACEY and VANCE MARINO met at the iconic Belly Up Tavern in San Diego after their friends stood them up at a concert. They've been writing music together ever since.

As Songwriters, Tracey and Vance write and produce music & lyrics, particularly in upbeat, positive Indie Folk, Indie Folk Pop, and Indie Folk Rock. They work extensively with vetted, award-winning, established and up-and-coming Indie Artists and Producers.

As Instrumental cue composers, they specialize in Hybrid cues with Contemporary Beats: Tension, Dramedy, EDM, Hip Hop, Rock, Emotional Drama, World Music, Beach, Island, Reggae, and Upbeat, Happy Quirky cues. They've also had success with their Orchestral Rock, Circus & Carnival, Solo Acoustic Guitar, Ukulele, Solo Piano cues, and their Original and PD Christmas & Holiday music.

With more than 3,000 songs and instrumental cues in their BMI catalog, Tracey and Vance receive accolades for their interesting arrangements, catchy themes, quality musicianship, playing real instruments, crafted lyrics, and their ability to provide a quick turnaround in the fast-paced music world.
