Paul began as many producers do--singing, writing and producing commercial jingles. That experience led him to begin to produce the recordings for his own group, River. Paul’s production abilities soon began to be noticed by other up-and-coming artists who wanted a producer that not only cared about the songs, but also cared about their own personal ministry goals. Paul’s desire to write and produce from each individual artist’s perspective gives him a unique place in the production world as he serves as not only a producer, but a helpful mentor to help artists reach their full potential. Artists such as Peder Eide, Ginger Millermon, The Blenders and others, found Paul’s style of producing and writing to help them reach a new level in their careers, both musically and spiritually. The Worship Project, launching in 2008, is already one of the most anticipated projects of the year, and Paul’s production efforts will be a large part of its success.

“It is a very difficult matter indeed, to find a person in the music industry who can appreciate the creative temperament, is comfortably networked with world class musicians, understands the reality of a budget and can actually deliver excellent results. Paul Marino enjoys all of those qualities.
I have known Paul for years, and have been fortunate to work with him as a co-writer and as a studio mate. It is one thing to recommend a friend and it is quite another to be fully confident in a person’s musical gifts, business abilities and character. In Paul’s case, I can enthusiastically “have my cake and eat it too”. If I wanted to, I couldn’t recommend him highly enough.”

"Having spent a great deal of time both in and out of the studio with Paul, I have seen his heart and musical talent grow, both as a musician and a friend. I think that these 2 characteristics are incredibly important when you spend as much time as we do in the studio in close proximity. Paul's attention to detail and cooperation with an artist is what sets him apart from the rest of the pack."

"I was so privileged to work with Paul on my latest project, "Amazed." Songwriting with Paul was a whole new experience and one I hope to repeat! Not only is Paul incredibly talented as a producer and writer, but his heart is ultimately what sold me on working with him. His ministry focus and desire to write and produce music that will make an impact really impressed me. In the months that I worked with Paul, his skill, integrity and professionalism were always evident. It truly was a blessing to work with him."
Ginger Millermon

“What defines Paul as an outstanding producer is heart. His talent is superb, his gifts and abilities well documented. But it is his heart for the music and ministry of the artist that brings the songwriting, planning, recording, and final project to it’s highest quality. His ability to understand the artist’s big picture and goals is essential and shows in the final mix. When you can say as an artist “It’s more than I hoped for. I am proud of this!” It’s because heart was put into it."
Peder Eide
Worship Leader/Songwriter

“I have had the privilege of working with Paul Marino for over a decade. I have always had the utmost respect for Paul as a songwriter, artist and producer as well as his heart for ministry and personal integrity. I also believe he is one of the most gifted producers in the Christian music industry today. I have highly recommended his services to many artists that I have worked with and will continue to do so in the future. If you are looking for a producer who can help you unleash all of your gifts and talents as a recording artist, then it's time to connect with Paul Marino!”
