Marco Berrios

Marco Antonio Berrios, a.k.a. "Dawg" is on a mission to leave the World a little better than he found it. He creates and performs music with his bass, acts for films/music videos and stimulates minds with his creativity. He has been acting all of his life and also playing the bass since 1995. He has performed all over NYC, CA and the USA. In 2003, Marco put together A Day in the Park, an all free, all day music festival on 8/23/03 in Battery Park Manhattan to raise money for kids in the Greenwich Village Youth Council. The event allowed them to buy instruments and pay for lessons. Dawg organized the event as a labor of love - everyone involved donated their time and services. He didn't want money. His reward was to help kids make music and for him and his band to close out the event performing with all of Manhattan in front of them with a gorgeous sunset including the Statue of Liberty to their backs. This was a goal he set for himself after being seriously injured in a house fire February 27th, 1999. Dawg literally burned in his sleep, spent 7 days in coma then flat-lined before being given his 2nd chance. Over the next few years, Dawg continued to play 5 string bass in several different bands, exploring new flavors of Funk, Hip Hop, Rock, R&B, New Age and more. Although he found several solid bands in this time, he never quite found the loyal, focused team he was looking for. In August 2006, Dawg moved to Los Angeles seeking new creative ventures. He performed at several open mics but somehow found himself doing more acting than music. He appears in several independent film projects and has already made his Prime Time TV debut when appearing on ABC's "Duel". In 2009, Dawg started his career at American Radio Networks in Hollywood as a radio announcer. Dawg quickly moved up the ranks to having a 1 hour live show on KCLA, 99.3FM. His shows innovated interviews with subtle background music and other audio treats. In 2012, Dawg started a band and Production Company named "Super Funky Tron" in North Hollywood, CA. The concept was designed so that each of the members was recognized as a Creative Super Hero in their own creative rights while being a team member of a collective form of energy (Tron). The concept allowed various members to rotate in and out of the band while growing individual artist brands. In 2013, Dawg performed all over Hollywood with Super Funky Tron and other bands, capping of his performance reel with an extraordinary performance at the World Famous Viper Room on 8/18/13 with Vio as the singer/band. In 2013, Marco also published his 1st book, "Touched by Fire, the 1st 3 Days". It marked the 1st of 4 parts to his miraculous recovery. In 2014, Dawg kept performing with various artists all over Hollywood as a cameo bass player and was recognized as the #1 Bass Player in Hollywood, #7 in the USA and #14 in the World on ReverbNation for 91 consecutive days and has been in the top 40 rankings ever since. On 11/11/14, Dawg finally released his 1st music Album, "Divine Actions With Guidance". In early 2016 Dawg Published his 2nd book, "Touched by fire, Parts I & II", marking the 2nd of 4 parts of the series. On 12/12/16, Dawg released a mostly Instrumental album "DJs n Dance a Holics". By this time Dawg's music was on 20 Nationally recognized Coast to Coast Mixtapes recognized in several genres of music ranging from EDM to Hip Hop. Dawg and his Executive Producer, SilbyTron were accomplishing what they set out to do. Just as momentum was building, in early 2017, a technical error with Dawg and his distribution company caused all of his music to drop from all platforms. All of the links on all of the albums went down. The only way to repair the problem was to upload new files. This was not an easy task because several laptop crashes had occurred since 2014 and retrieving the original files would require serious tech work. Meanwhile, on the home front, Dawg found himself under heavy scrutiny by a stalker. This evil stalker threatened Dawg's life while spreading false rumors to his fans and social media followers in attempts to destroy him. January 2018, the stalker found where Dawg was hiding and gave rat poison to SilbyTron, his Executive Producer/Pitbull/Best Friend, while he was at work. After a week of internal bleeding from the rat poison, SilbyTron was put to rest (1/15/18). R.I.P. Silby. Marco went into deep pits of depression. Everywhere he turned he saw reminders of Silby, the stalker and his music that was no longer playing. Life became a blur to Marco, not knowing how he was going to rebuild himself on so many levels. May 2018, seeking new beginnings, Marco packed his things and started driving North. On his way North, Marco got into a car accident and found himself living in a tent in the mountains of Northern California. Although fully insured and 100% not at fault, the head trauma endured, still mourning Silby's loss and Marco's living situation allowed him to be manipulated into a very small compensation, leaving him just enough money to get himself out of a tent but not much else. Rebuild and Reinvent was the only thing Marco could focus on. On the Summer Equinox of 2019, after a long road of rebuilding, Marco re-uploaded his original album, Divine Actions With Guidance, as it was in 2014. Although justice for Silby was slowly being restored, Marco and "Dawg" still needed reinventing. On 12/12/19, "the wonder Dawg", the rebuilt and reinvented soul, person and artist released "DJs n Dance a Holics" a modified, remixed and remastered album of the original release 3 years before. Marco Antonio capped his reinvention with the official and final release of the "Movin On" music video featuring years of live and never before seen footage and final respects and closure to SilbyTron. 1/4/2020, Marco Antonio Berrios, aka "the wonder Dawg" updates his IMDB and all other websites to reflect the rebuilt and reinvented force that will never quit.
