Biography:

Nick Z Marino - lead vocals and keyboards 

    

At the early age of 7, Nick ’s musical training began as he received classical vocal and piano training. His musical ability continued and grew throughout his adolescence as he traveled and performed throughout Europe and Asia. He was strongly influenced by artists such as Deep Purple, Led Zeppelin, Queen, Dio, Iron Maiden, Scorpions and AC/DC.

 In 2005. Nick joined Yngwie Malmsteen's Rising Force and toured USA and Japan on "Unleash The Fury" 2005 tour.

In 2009, after the Malmsteen's tour in Israel and Russia and Japan, Nick presented his demo material to Malmsteen.       
It caught Malmsteen's ear immediately. Nick’s musical journey has culminated in turning his dream into reality with his release of his solo album “Freedom Has No Price”by Yngwie’s Rising Force Records”.

Nick was the first artist (other than Yngwie himself) to be released under Rising Force Records. Freedom Has No Price combines Nick’s classical training with rock music that inspired him on twelve inspirational original tracks.
