MAGG

Magg biography
MAGG is comprised of five classical musicians, apprentices of prominent classical maestros, like Carlos Martínez Larrauri (Conductor of UNAM-ENM's Classical Guitar Orchestra), Francisco Navarro Lara (Conductor of various orchestras and personalities like José Carreras and Montserrat Caballé) and 'popular-music' composers (Enrique Quezadas, Hiram Gómez, Carlos 'Bozzo' Vázquez). The members of MAGG are: Alfred MERRY (vocals), Ivan (bass), Sergio (drums), Luis (keyboards) and 'Yito' (guitar).

The group was formed in 2008, in Cancun, Mexico. MAGG soon achieved local awards (first places in several Battles of the Bands, presence in festivals) and released two demo recordings that obtained international acceptance through the principal social-network at the time: MySpace; having almost 10,000 followers and over 100,000 views. After this period the band members decided to keep playing, now in a lower profile, focusing their efforts to continue their musical formation.

At the end of 2012, MAGG entered to the studio with the conviction to release its first album. These sessions surpassed 92 minutes of music, pushing them to publish the album in a two-disc box set. In mid-2013 the album, now entitled ''Birth / Revival'', was released (and entirely performed) in a successful opening concert. The independent album ''Birth / Revival'' is distributed with the help of Mixdown Records and it is available on every major online store (iTunes, Amazon, Spotify). MAGG has released musical videos for two singles: 'Brightness' and 'Mind's Conflict'.

MAGG's sound has been compared to progressive metal pioneers such as DREAM THEATER.
