BioLen Mormino grew up in a Chicago Suburb where he worked in landscaping, counseling, and professional acting on stage and in commercial/industrial television and films. In 2000 he moved to Madison, Wisconsin where he now lives with his wife and daughter. Len wrote music while studying piano at a young age, but did not pursue the craft seriously until his 20's. For the last 10 years he has studied music theory, voice, harmonica, and songwriting with a diverse group of professionals, and subject his music to multiple professional critiques to help him grow as a songwriter and musician. He now most enjoys songwriting for other artists, T.V. & Film Projects, and collaborating with other talented musicians/writers in the Chicago and Madison area.
