On the track, Marra says: “Having someone you enjoy being around is great, but when you can’t handle being on your own and become addicted to another person, you’re in big trouble…Realising I could channel my pain into catchy pop songs was the best discovery I’ve ever made.”

After spending five years on the indie music radar, Marra has found his sound and is ready to carve out a path as one of Australia’s most exciting pop artists. His 2015 mashup of Justin Bieber’s “What Do You Mean?” and Ariana Grande’s “One Last Time” made waves and received attention worldwide from BillboardMTVTeen Vogue and even Grande herself.

With performances at Wine Machine 2019 and with Disco Faith ChoirMarra has proven time and again that he has an audience ready and waiting for his music. His magnetic and funky debut single “The Day That You Left” received praise from Music FeedsTone DeafPileRatsAusPop and triple j Unearthed, kicking off what is sure to be an exciting 2020 for Marra. This explosive follow up has proven just what the hype is all about.

 

“Medicine” is available to stream on all platforms now.

 

 

Praise for Jake Marra:


 

Jake‘s got something that’s both sparkling on first sight and tough to the touch. Well balanced new school pop sound!” – Dave Ruby Howe (triple j)

“This Melbourne-based 26-year-old emerges as an act to keep an eye on in the new year, debuting a soaring pop sound (that is ) confident and unashamedly pop… he merges into a lane paved by acts including Troye Sivan and Ruel.” – PileRats

“…a slice of moody, synthpop that burns with intense emotion and luscious production. It is a masterclass in the art of cry-dance anthems.” – Tone Deaf

“…a serious bop, full of sincere and heartfelt lyrics, backed by an infectious beat and impressive production that almost makes you forget it’s a song about heartbreak.” – Music Feeds

“It’s a smoky, late night pop song that, despite having a very different vocal, hits me with those same midnight movement inducing vibes as The Weeknd. Some very clever, subtle production underneath it all too.” – Tommy Faith (triple j)
