Marco Bruno, better known by his stage name Marco Polo, is a Canadian hip hop producer from Toronto. He moved to New York City in the early 2000s to pursue a career in hip hop production, and has since become one of the most sought-after underground hip hop producers in the East Coast scene. 

Marco Polo's production revolves around his use of samples, and his style is somewhat similar to that of Pete Rock and DJ Premier, the latter of which he names as his greatest influence. To give a more authentic effort to his production, he will individually sample drum sounds and arrange them to create his own patterns.
