D’Addario welcomes Marcin, the most-followed fingerstyle guitarist in the world, to its official artist roster. With over 10 million followers across YouTube, Instagram, TikTok, and Facebook, Marcin has become one of the most dynamic and influential voices in modern acoustic guitar.
First discovered through his viral online performances, Marcin’s online presence has since launched him onto international tours, selling out shows across Europe, Asia, and North America. He has recently expanded his creative footprint with high-profile collaborations, including work with Will Smith. “Originality is literally the most important thing for an artist to have,” Marcin says. “Everything you do on an instrument comes from within. Every note should be played with intention.”
Why Marcin Chose D’Addario
After endorsing Elixir strings for years, Marcin transitioned to D’Addario after discovering the performance and tonal range of XS Coated Phosphor Bronze strings, which offered the flexible tonal range and durability he needed for his high-energy playing style, that blends classical, flamenco, percussive fingerstyle, and modern production.
“D’Addario has always been the prime string company: the big boy in town,” Marcin said. “XS lets players like me perform without compromise. Before XS, I broke three strings on a nine-date tour of China. Since switching, I’ve played over 30 shows and haven’t broken a single one. What does that say?”
Inside His Genre-Defying Approach
A long-form interview released alongside this announcement traces Marcin’s development from early classical and flamenco training, to his breakthrough on America’s Got Talent, his global touring success, and the innovative approach that’s helped reshape what’s possible in modern acoustic guitar playing.
