“You can have all the tools in the world, but unless you have heart, you have nothing. With heart you can do anything you want to”. Words Carmen Magro has lived by. The advice of his father has lived with him since he passed when Carmen was just a child. His music reflects his life experiences, integral to the development of the man behind the music.
Carmen was raised by his mother, who bought him his first drum set. His passion for drums and percussion led him to play in bands all around Philadelphia and New Jersey. When Carmen was sixteen his mother was diagnosed with breast cancer. The day she passed he walked out of the hospital and penned his first original song. This moment changed his life.
Carmen’s next song was inspired by the story of a young man hit and paralyzed by a drunk driver. After it’s completion he sent the song to the man and his family as a gift. Carmen was later invited to perform at a charity event for the teen, where he received an overwhelming response.
Magro gained momentum and continued to write and record original music. Looking to take his career to the next step, Carmen began collaborating with multi-platinum producer Arty Skye. He and Skye recorded “America”, his first single of many. America honors those who have served and died for their country.
His music of love, loss, growing up, pride, and self-confidence allows his personality to shine and inspires the masses.
Carmen’s single “America” is available for download on all major digital retailers.
