Marcus acquired his love for jazz by listening and learning from the late Grover Washington, Jr., David Sanborn, Kirk Whalum, Najee, Dave Koz, the late saxophonists, Art Porter and George Howard. Marcus says on one account,” I became truly inspired by a phone call from the late
George Howard, a conversation and experience I’ll never forget.” Marcus would find his way before Rebbie Jackson (a Sister of Jackson 5 & Janet Jackson) and her family during a weekend show in Las Vegas.
During Marcus’s musical journey, he received encouragement from famed percussionist Sheila E. and saxophonists, Nelson Rangell, Najee, Mike Phillips, his sax mentors: Joe Yorio (Toured with Peabo Bryson) & Mel Holder (Billboard Saxophonist & Stellar Award Finalist), and the late great saxman, George Howard.
Marcus released the single “Brand New Day” (2018), globally and to 100+ radio stations across the country. The song was composed/produced by jazz sensation, International Recording Artist/keyboardist, Jonathan Fritzen, whom also performs on the single. It debuted at #1 song, with the most spins during its 1st week in rotation on Billboard Smooth Jazz radio stations across the US.
Marcus’s is set to release his latest single, “Together We Stand”, which was produced by William Green, jazz pioneer/artist/keyboardist and Ben Parris, also up and coming Pop Producer/Artist/multi-instrumentalist, whom both perform on this song to deliver a fresh new hot sound of the Spanish Guitar, live instruments and upbeat tasteful music, which compliments Marcus at a whole new level. Keep your ears open for this song! Marcus’s full CD release of “Brand New Day” is slated to be released early 2021.
