Marroquin won his first Grammy in 2000 for Mary Mary's album, Thankful. In 2004, he received two Grammys for Album of the Year for Kanye West's The College Dropout, and Alicia Keys' The Diary of Alicia Keys. He won another Grammy for his work on the album Get Lifted by John Legend In 2005, and Battle Studies by John Mayer in 2011. The Grammy Museum, which opened in Los Angeles in December 2008, acknowledged Marroquin's musical achievement with its mixing exhibit. The interactive exhibit allowed players to mix a track under the guidance of Marroquin.[4]

In 2013, Marroquin partnered with Waves Audio to release a signature collection of virtual instrument effects that includes EQ, Delay, Reverb, Tone Shaper, Triple D & Distortion plugins.[5] He currently works from Larrabee Sound Studio 2 in Los Angeles.[6]
