Nalin Perera was schooling at St. Mary’s College, Chilaw where his brainchild "Marians" was first introduced to the world in 1988. Music was always in his mind, heart and soul and at the age of 12 he was inspired by legendary Sunil Perera of Gypsies and his extraordinary style of presentation to pursue a career in music.
When he was in the Advanced Level class he got his first break to prove himself when the need arose to find backup music for a school singing contest he saw his opportunity to rise up to the occasion. He quickly grabbed the chance to test his aptitude. He was already the Head Prefect of the school at the time and he quickly went in to action without delay and formed a band handpicking talent among his friends at school. The musical contest became a huge success and all due credit was showered on the music provided by the band. This marks the start of the journey of Marians which has now gained the love of millions of fans worldwide.
