Marian Hill

Marian Hill is an American electronic pop duo made up of vocalist Samantha Gongol and producer Jeremy Lloyd. Their sound blends moody electronics, jazz-influenced saxophone, and Gongol’s distinctive vocals into a style that’s sleek, intimate, and hard to categorize — somewhere between R&B, pop, and avant-garde electronic music. They arrived on the scene in 2013 when their single “One Time” went viral on Vine. Before long, their song Got It was in one of the first Today’s Top Hits playlists as well as a Taco Bell commercial, leading them to sign with Republic Records. They embarked on their first national tour and a radio campaign followed, peaking with One Time at #38 on US Alt Radio. Their big breakthrough came a few years later when their single “Down” was featured in Apple’s AirPods ad, pairing Gongol’s smoky vocals and a sparse piano line with a stuttering electronic beat — making it one of the most Shazamed songs in the country. The track reached No. 21 on the Billboard Hot 100 and was recently certified double platinum. Their music has been in major commercials for All State, Calvin Klein, Hyundai and Fox Sports and seen on TV in HBO’s Industry, Lucifer, Santa Clarita Diet, So You Think You Can Dance and Dancing with the Stars. They’ve performed at Coachella, Lollapalooza, Bonaroo, Electric Forest, Firefly, Governor’s Ball, and more and played to sold out crowds abroad in China, Korea, Japan and all over Europe. Television performances include Good Morning America, Late Night with Jimmy Fallon, Conan, The Late Late Show with James Corden and internationally on Jools Holland and Che Temp Che Fa.
