From San Diego’s creative underground to the emerging wave of global dance culture, Trill Bans is rewriting his story with purpose. Once known for his work behind the boards, the multi-platinum producer has stepped into the spotlight as an EDM DJ crafting a sound that fuses the pulse of electronic music with the emotion of his Mexican roots.
Born Marko Cervantes, the San Diego native began producing at sixteen on his mom’s laptop, teaching himself FL Studio one beat at a time. Within a few years, his sound began circulating through the industry — earning placements with artists like Lil Durk, Chino Pacas, and Omar Courtz, and securing plaques that confirmed his ability to compete at the highest level. But after years spent in the background, something changed in 2025: the drive to tell his own story through his own music.
That moment gave rise to Trill Bans the DJ — an artist inspired by the after-hours glow of club culture, the freedom of underground house, and the nostalgia of growing up between two worlds. His new sound blends dark, emotional textures with hypnotic energy — a reflection of both his roots and his rebirth. It’s not just electronic music; it’s identity translated through rhythm.
Over the past year, Trill has been steadily making noise across San Diego’s nightlife scene, performing alongside hometown artists like Lil Maru and introducing his evolving sound to intimate but growing crowds. Online, his “Trill Thursdays” series — a mix of cinematic edits, unreleased tracks, and immersive visuals — has become a cult favorite, drawing listeners who see him not just as a DJ, but as a storyteller building a world.
Trill’s journey represents a new chapter for producers who dare to step into the spotlight. He’s not chasing mainstream trends — he’s building his own lane, one beat, one set, one experience at a time.
For Trill Bans, this isn’t about leaving rap behind — it’s about evolution. It’s about proving that the same kid who once made beats in a small San Diego apartment can now stand onstage and move a crowd with the same hands that once made history behind the scenes.
And if this new era is any indication, the world won’t just hear what Trill Bans creates next — they’ll feel it.
