At five, Marsella started to study classical piano and gave his first public performance. At age eleven, he had his first professional ‘gig’. Throughout his teen years, Marsella performed extensively around the Philadelphia are in a myriad of settings. A friendship with bassist Lance Walker opened him to the world of R&B, flues, funk and fusion. He started collaborating with The Dukes of Destiny, The Elgins and countless others. While doing club dates at night and weddings on the weekends, the pianist kept up his classical education – having started with private lessons he continued piano studies at Juilliard School and Peabody Conservatory, and composition at Westminster Choir College.
