Marc Miethe began his musical journey in the children’s choir of the Deutsche Oper (German Opera) in Berlin and discovered the didgeridoo in 1992 while working as a bass player. He has developed a unique approach to the instrument through his work with various bands, including Circular Breathing, Peshkar, Gnawa Impulse, Boobinga (with Armin Metz), BiOS, O.Ton Projekt, Mantra Tribe, and Didges Brew, as well as his solo projects. A certified body psychotherapist, Marc has been teaching didgeridoo since 1994 and has published numerous articles on didgeridoo playing.
Marc’s performances and workshops have taken him to festivals, corporate events, trade fairs, radio, and TV worldwide. Highlights include touring with Indian superstar Arijit Singh (MTV India), performing with the brass quintet of the Berlin Symphony Orchestra, the Staatskapelle Berlin, Pop Meets Classic, and appearing at prestigious events like the Fusion Festival, DLD Conference, World Youth Festival, Respect Festival in Prague, Love Parade, Sennheiser Global Conference, BMW Formula 1 Party in Monte Carlo, SAP Expo in Nice, Thomas Cook, MTV Select, and the official opening of the 12th IAAF World Championships.
In 1999, Marc co-founded the Berlin-based world music network Cross Culture Music and has since worked as a booking agent.
His distinctive didgeridoo style is featured on around 20-25 albums and compilations.

In addition to rhythmic vocal techniques used in jazz and in various cultures around the world, Marc also uses mouth percussion techniques specially adapted for the didgeridoo, such as “beatboxing” (mouth percussion). His particularly percussive and powerful playing style is strongly influenced by the pulsating rhythm of his home city of Berlin.
