MARF

Simply put, MARF is one of dance music’s most exciting and certifiable triple threat talents. From songwriting and producing multi-genre hits to DJing the world’s biggest stages, the rising Dutch talent has immediately made his musical mark known. In the span of a mere 3 years, MARF has not only
found support from global talents like Hardwell, David Guetta, The Chainsmokers, Timmy Trumpet, Showtek, and Dimitri Vegas & Like Mike, but has also shared productions credits with industry trendsetters, from Nicky Romero and Afrojack, to Lucas & Steve. With a work ethic that’s second to
none and undeniably natural pop sensibilities, MARF is one of the very few acts in dance music who are making the hits of tomorrow, today.

It wasn’t until his early 20s that MARF set his sights on producing dance music, quickly embarking on his own journey up the industry’s daunting stairs of success. His breakout release, titled “Sweet Mistake” (alongside KAAZE) came in 2020 via Revealed Recordings. Deeply emotive and strikingly polished for a newcomer’s production, “Sweet Mistake” racked up a hearty two hundred thousand Spotify streams in its very first day, putting MARF on the map as one to watch.

His follow up came in the form of “Miss You,” a joint release with the eminent skills of Tungevaag and Sick Individuals. The single, his very first on Spinnin’ Records, became the most played radio track in all of the Netherlands, proving that MARF was anything but dance music’s next one-hit-wonder. Having built
momentum from the ground up, MARF continued his hot streak of tastemaker collabs, linking up with
none other than Nicky Romero for “Okay,” and more recently with Lucas & Steve for the festival-ready
slinger, “Give Me Your Love.”

After his huge radio succes with “somebody To Love’’ together with the famous Dutch singer Wulf,
MARF released ‘Monday’ and ‘Headphones’ which got a lot support from DJ’s during the festival
season.

If his original productions weren’t enough, MARF has also staked his claim as a prodigal songwriter,
lending a creative hand to the Netherlands’ leading pop act, FLEMMING. Together, the two have found
the secret sauce for success, with their aptly titled single “Amsterdam” going Diamant and being validated as a true festival anthem.
