Marcus is currently a Broadway performer, starring in Tony award winning shows such as "RENT' and "In the Heights" while pursuing his singer/songwriter ambitions. At age 13, Marcus began writing and recording music using three humble tape recorders. Of course he has upgraded since then, peaking the interest of talented industry figures such as producer Akira Shelton. Akira approached Marcus with the idea of collaborating. After hearing Akira's tracks, Marcus knew a musical match was made. While working with Akira on other new artist projects, Akira suggested collaborating on an album in the Soulful House vein. A year later in February 2009, they their first EP, "Electrik Love." Marcus has just released a full length album “Meant To Be”.
