Mahogany Rush s'inspire d'abord des groupes blues rock britanniques, et Marino adopte bien vite le style exhibitionniste de Jimi Hendrix, son idole. En 1971, Mahogany Rush se produit en public à Montreal, et il est repéré par Kotai, un label Canada qui signe le groupe.  Après environ deux années, semblant aller nulle part très rapidement, Marino commence à enregistrer son tout premier album, Maxoom (album bien entendu dédié à Hendrix), alors qu'il n'a que 16 ans.  Ce disque est publié en 1973. Ce n'est qu'en 1974 que sort le second album 'Child Of The Novelty'. Le groupe se fait alors connaître aux USA et il commence sérieusement à se faire une réputation de groupe live. Et Marino devient le guitariste "dont on parle" allant jusqu’à être invité sur un album d’April Wine. Le groupe enregistrera ensuite plus d'une dizaine de LP pendant les deux premières décennies de son existence.
