Marcio Novelli is an award-winning Canadian independent pop/rock singer-songwriter with a dynamic voice and a sound to match. With recent attention from numerous Grammy award-winning producers, Novelli entered the studio in late 2011 with producer Jim Wirt (Incubus, Jack's Mannequin) and engineer Nick Blagona (Green Day, The Police) to record his debut full length album, "It's Not An Excuse, It's A Reason", in just two weeks. His first single "Doctor, Please" features Chris Steele of Alexisonfire on bass. Novelli's previous "Break Me" EP was produced by Juno award-winning producer Julius ‘Juice’ Butty (City and Colour, Alexisonfire) and went on to win the best pop/rock recording of the year at the 2009 Hamilton Music Awards with the title track currently in daily rotation on idobi Radio (the Internet's #1 alternative station) and reaching the top 20 on college and university radio stations. On social networking sites like Myspace.com, Novelli has managed to exceed well over 8 million song plays via word of mouth. Stickam.com recently featured Novelli’s live webcast entitled "The Marcio Novelli Show", bringing in nearly 1 million viewers. Fans tattooed with his lyrics can be seen multiplying across the globe, proving that Novelli's ever-growing worldwide fanbase shows no signs of slowing down. Novelli is no stranger to the stage, having performed alongside Silverstein, Marianas Trench, and The Ataris and playing major festivals across Canada. After being featured as D-Tox’s artist of the month, the Canadian clothing store chain sent him on a sponsored in-store performance tour, which was later followed by an in-store performance at Hot Topic. Usually known for performing solo, Novelli has recently assembled a live band to accompany him on tour in support of his debut album. <a href="https://www.last.fm/music/Marcio+Novelli">Read more on Last.fm</a>.
