DJ MFR (Marco From Rome) resides in San Francisco, California. His musical history began at an early age of 18 when he began dj'ing in Rome. MFR's musical influences range from reggae, hip-hop and soul, to classic rock and jazz. In 1990, he connected strongly with the soothing sounds of soulful house music. Soon after, he began dj'ing to express and share his selection of deep, soothing, soulful house music with others. Moving to San Francisco in 1995, he immediately started to play in local clubs. In the years following, he began writing and experimenting with electronic music.

In 1998 Marco together with [[artist:34]] and [[artist:74994]] started [[label:55]], an independent label today well established in the underground scene.
