Announcing an electrifying musical experience: Berlin-based drummer and producer Magro brings together the best of both worlds, crafting a unique blend of acoustic Jazz and produced Hip-Hop/RnB. Drawing inspiration from legends like Herbie Hancock, J Dilla, and Flying Lotus, Magro’s sound defies categorization, merging genres in a fresh and innovative way.
MAGRO has just released his highly anticipated new EP, “Tokyo Tree,” under the prestigious “Sonar Kollektiv” label. This release marks a pivotal moment in his career, set to introduce his distinctive international sound to a wider audience of discerning music enthusiasts. The “Tokyo Tree” EP, with its captivating title track, symbolizes a spring-like renewal for the producer, offering a vibrant snapshot of his melodious and genre-blending style.
After his first album “Trippin” was released in 2021 and was awarded with the “German Jazz Prize” (for “Debut Album of the Year”), Magro released his follow- up album “II” (pronounced: Two). On the album he features, among others, the up- and-coming RnB singer Leona Berlin and the New York piano virtuoso BIGYUKI. 
Over the years, Magro has collaborated with numerous artists as a drummer and producer- including Kurt Rosenwinkel, Wayne Snow, The Rolling Stones Project and Nightmares On Wax. In addition, he has been a producer on many of Leona Berlin’s albums and singles – including “Wrong Lane (featuring Snoop Dogg)“. 
Tours and international festival appearances such as Jazzahead, Tremplin Jazz Avignon, WIM Festival Zambia, Belgrad Jazz Festival and Sharpe Festival have already taken him around the world.
