Who is StarMarsii?

Much like Playboi Carti's symbolic mystique—but with a more intentional artistic edge—Marsii doesn't just create music, he embodies an aesthetic. Raised in a household steeped in structure—his father, an architect, left out more than just blueprints. Growing up surrounded by stencils and schematic layouts it sparked a lifelong passion for visual storytelling, helping Marsii channel his struggles with anxiety into a vibrant, multi-sensory outlet.

A Chill Guy

An introvert at heart, Marsii spends his downtime with friends on Discord, catching shows, experimenting with VFX and diving deep into the soundtracks of his childhood. He’s a big fan of video game OSTs, often pulling inspiration from the nostalgic and atmospheric worlds of Kirby, Zelda, and more. These sonic textures bleed into his own work, giving his music an almost otherworldly feel. He’s also a visual director, creating compelling visuals for his collective FGG, founded by his older cousin Ksavvdaplug. Notably, Marsii directed and gave creative insight on the "Push Push" music video for T.B, a gritty and atmospheric piece that highlights his evolving eye as much as his ear.

There’s something ineffable about Marsii—part digital ghost, part cultural architect. He isn’t just another SoundCloud rapper; he’s a translator of emotion, a builder of bridges between worlds: art, sound, solitude, and community.

StarMarsii isn’t trying to be understood. He’s trying to be felt. And in Connecticut’s creative underground, that makes him a star.
