About Marina Nielson

Role:

Music Specialist • Sound & Lighting Expert

Marina’s journey in the music equipment industry began in 2003, when she first met Marcelo after hiring him for a position at a café called The French Loaf. What began as a simple workplace connection quickly grew into a lifelong friendship, one that has shaped both of their careers ever since.

Marina’s Journey in Music Industry

Career and Family

A few years later, Marina and Marcelo’s paths crossed again at a big-box music retailer, where Marina spent over a decade refining her skills in inventory management, operations, and financial oversight. It was also there that Marina met her husband of 20 years, a guitarist who shares a deep love of music. Together, they have built a wonderful family with four children, three boys and one girl. Their oldest son is a proud Navy veteran, and their second oldest is currently enlisted, continuing the family’s tradition of service.

Business Communication Background

A lifelong Tucsonan, Marina also holds a degree in Business Communications, which has strengthened her ability to support both customers and the operational needs of a growing business. Although Marina does not play an instrument herself, her experience in music retail sparked a genuine passion for the organizational and logistical side of the industry. She found real fulfillment in ensuring musicians had what they needed to perform at their best.

Joining Stagewerks Team

As Marcelo’s business grew, he brought Marina on board to support Stagewerks behind the scenes. It was both a pleasure and an honor for Marina to be asked. Managing inventory, maintaining structure, and helping support a vibrant community of musicians felt like a natural extension of everything she had learned over the years.

Stagewerx is a great local business with helpful people. The owner is involved in taking care of the shop and they carry quality inventory. I ordered a BassBoss Makara-MK3 here through Dylan. He was very helpful and happy to set up demo of the smaller series equipment. This is what influenced my purchase, as I have never been a fan of powered cabinets before this. Stagewerx PSL can help you coordinate any live audio and musician equipment needs, and they go above and beyond for a quality business experience.

I came to the store for the first time today to buy a new set of drums. Impressive equipment and knowledge. Really nice people. Worth making the effort to find this place. Gave me a very fair price for the equipment I wanted and made sure everything was in good order before it went out the door. I will be back!
