Music is a part of every aspect of Mark Manto's life. It's in the rhythm his feet make when he goes out to run, it's in the soft sound of the waves at the beach, it's in the old records he digs up for new inspiration. With years of experience from various bands and musical endeavors, Manto is proud to announce his first all-original album, The Rocky Hill. The album, expected in late 2025-early 2026, is the result of decades of passion and exploration. Manto's musical journey began with his fascination for drums at a young age.
Manto's expertise and involvement in numerous musical undertakings make him one of the leaders in the local music scene. He's a percussionist for the New Jersey-based cover band Seven Stone (www.sevenstoneband.com). He's also one of the founders of the popular indie and alternative band TunaBalloon. However, his most recent pursuit is the most exciting yet: His solo project, theeGroovement (www.reverbnation.com/theegroovement), and its debut album, The Rocky Hill.
The album will be around twelve songs in length and incorporate a wide range of genres and themes. Manto wants to showcase his extreme versatility, so when listening to the songs, you'll find elements of jazz, blues, country, rock, alternative, industrial, and even hip-hop.
