'Maari' is the alias used by composer/writers Dom Cabusi and Bronte Maree O'Neill for releasing tracks that feature themselves and/or Soundtrack collaborators.
With an unapologetic love of all things magical and melancholy, this duo are a melting pot of darkness and light. Drawing on some extreme juxtapositions from a childhood of Punk Rock, Rnb, Music Theatre and Soul, Maari wear their heart on their sleeve and build their songs from a feeling upwards.
Since the birth of Maari four years ago, they’ve shared the stage with the likes of North East Party House, Wafia, E^st and Lamalo and have received international radio play and attention from blogs such as Pilerats, Auspop, and Wonky Sensitive. Their Music Videos have been featured at Sydney Fringe Festival's Clipped.Tv event, Parramatta Lanes Festival and on MTV's program 'MTV Upload.’
Working in Film Composition and Sync writing has allowed the duo to expand into Score and Soundtrack writing; giving their flair for evocative and dynamic writing a new, exciting home. They've also released a 'Disney Revamped' series on Youtube & Distribution that gives an Indie Pop take on some classic and new Title tracks.
'Glossy pop production and a vocal that belts the roof off your vehicle' - Dave Ruby Howe (Triple J)
'Each element of the song seems to double up on itself, until you're left completely immersed in an ocean of electro-pop brilliance' - HappyMag
Sydney duo Maari have been crafting a serious name for themselves since forming last year, and their latest single Desire only adds more kindling to an already fiere flame.' - Pilerats
