Larry Marotta was born in East Orange, New Jersey, but raised in North Miami Beach, Florida. He started studying guitar at age 10 with his father, the drummer/percussionist Mike Marotta, as his primary teacher. He divided his time between garage rock bands and playing and learning jazz (he was the guitarist in the Florida All-State Jazz Band in 1985).

While studying philospophy at Florida Atlantic University in the late 1980s, he became actively involved in the Miami punk and noise scene. After graduating, Larry relocated to Columbus, Ohio, where he currently lives with his life partner Becky Sicking and their daughter Kate.
