Marciano, born Christopher Marciano Gomes, is a Cape Verdean and Ivoirian songwriter. Based in Orlando, Marciano is known for his sexy and controversial song “Hush” that was written for Paul Adey and Dawn Richard (former member of American girl band Danity Kane).

Marciano was born in Pawtucket, Rhode Island and has spent some time in Ivory Coast, Africa and New Bedford, Massachusetts. As a child, he struggled with communication due to his lack of the English language. Marciano turned to writing in order to explain what he was feeling to his friends and teachers. He wrote in his African language and then translated each word. At first, they were just simple thoughts and then it became poetry. Soon, he was writing powerful and infectious lyrics while pairing them to riveting instrumentals.
