Marc Scibilia (born 20 June 1986) is an American singer-songwriter born and raised in Buffalo, New York, currently based in East Nashville, Tennessee. His self-titled EP released in 2012 included the song “How Bad We Need Each Other” which was featured in the hit television series Bones.

Frustrated with his lack of conventional plans after graduation, she sarcastically asked him, “What are you going to do?

At 18 years old, he became one of the first members of his family — a family that includes several part-time musicians — to leave the Buffalo area. Nashville — a town rooted not only in country music, but pop, rock, and dance, too — has become an appropriate home base for Scibilia’s music. He doesn’t limit his songwriting to one genre. Instead, he writes songs that spread themselves wide, mixing pop hooks, rock & roll energy, and dark storytelling into the same pot
