Marin was born in Germany but transferred to Spain at 12 and became a baritone in a band performing with tenors Urs Bühler and David Miller and pop singer Sebastian Izambard. 

"Singing is my way of saying how I feel, my way of living," he was quoted as saying on the band's website.

"Singing is what touch me feel alive, so thank you for allowing me to continue living what I love."
