Marina Albero


Marina is decidedly one of the rarest improvisational artists of our time. It's relevant in the human experience today because what reflects an awakened emotional soundscape as she engages you. It's movement that is necessary yet strikingly a familiarity we have forgotten.


The complexity of the sounds out of every key has not one identity but multiple characteristics in relation to another, it leaves you wondering what is even happening and in what genre you are listening to anymore.



With her self-released 3-CD set “A Life Soundtrack”, Marina Albero has composed an intimate biography in the musical languages of old Europe, modern Spain, 1990’s Cuba and the US of today. Comfortable in the syntax and idioms of baroque, flamenco, son and American jazz, Albero shares chapters on learning, love, loss, and life that will move and inspire you. Her musical story has been captivating audiences and musicians around the Northwest since she moved to Seattle in 2015.

Join me on Patreon to make a record in New Orleans


I am really excited to announce that I'll be taking a four month music residency in the vibrant city of New Orleans in Louisiana Starting this coming January 15th!


My goal is to write and arrange music to make a new EP that could evolve into a full album. I want to record both in NOLA and Seattle and possibly stop by San Francisco as well.


It is a big adventure and I can only take it to fruition with your support. After thinking a lot about how to raise the necessary funds, I realized that PATREON is and has been the best platform for my creative endeavors and also where I feel most connected to you, my supporters.


I am honored and very grateful to have had over 60 patrons coming in and out. Right now, I have the ambitious milestone of achieving up to 200 souls that want to join us for the next six months in order to finance the new production.


Some of the musicians I have in mind and have already approached them about it are: Helen Gillet, Giuli X. Cetto, or a full brass band. I can;t tell you much as I still need to raise the funds to really confirm the lineup, but it'll be good! Of course I would love extending the project to Seattle and make it a full album with my new quintet "Gaia".  we shall see where I can get! Thanks for your support!

Happy holidays!

Sharing my musical journey and studies



I believe that Music is easy and fun to make. I also know how it can take a whole life mastering it!



As a child, music was a natural language to me and now, after years in classical and improvisation training, teaching and performing, my approach is to start creating from day one while we naturally learn about music's structure and architecture.

My passion is taking music back into your hands to channel, create and heal or just to have fun.



Music is a social connector, a balsam for our hearts and a safe place to experience and explore your own voice. It is your choice stay in that one note or move on to the next. Oh, and it's risk-free. Wanna try?

She's actually improvising!

Marina Albero is a piano virtuoso. At times it seems like she’s playing the most polished standards – like she’s memorized Mozart back and forth – but in fact she’s actually improvising.
