SONGMAKER PRODUCTIONS: Vance and Tracey Marino are behind this production company that provides a variety of music for media projects. They met at the Belly Up Tavern in San Diego in 1995 when they realized each of their dates had stood them up. They've been writing, producing, and performing music together ever since.

Tracey, a singer, keyboardist, and classically trained pianist originally from Boston, Massachusetts, and Vance, a singer, bassist, and seasoned lead rock, blues, and country guitarist originally from Oahu, Hawaii, soon realized they could learn from -- and work with -- each other's various musical backgrounds.

In August 2009, they were signed as composers to write music for Harpo Productions and had a song selected by the producers of the new "Dr. Oz Show." They were among three composers asked to write for Oprah's "Holiday Primetime Special at the White House" in December 2009.

In April 2010, their song "Carnival Lights" was placed in Disney's Touchstone Pictures "The Last Song" by Nicholas Sparks, starring Miley Cyrus and Greg Kinnear. Other recent placements include: We TV's reality show "Little Miss Perfect," the PBS exercise show "Sit and Be Fit," a feature film in the U.K., two award-winning documentaries, dozens of indie films, short features, radio commercials, music for amusement parks, and iPhone. They also have four holiday songs in print, published by Piano Press.
