Full Biography
Singer-guitarist Marcus has a broad repertoire encompassing rock, pop, indie and soul from the '60s to today, from the Beatles to Bruno Mars.
Having been classically trained on the piano since childhood, and then picking up the guitar aged 16, Marcus has been involved in music for over 20 years. Having played in several bands in London and Birmingham, and performed his own material around London at legendary venues such as the Troubadour, he has been performing for nearly a decade.
Marcus can boast having played over 200 gigs over the last two years – many of them private events and weddings. He mostly travels over the South East of England, but can go further afield where required.
Marcus is perhaps most at home playing downbeat, romantic numbers, but is well renowned for being able to play a given song in several different ways, and is more than capable of getting a crowd dancing! He likes to tailor his performance to the event, and is always happy to learn a special song or two for the day if appropriate! With consistently great reviews from clients, and a reputation for good communication and professionalism, Marcus looks forward to sculpting his musical performance to fit your event perfectly!

Anna H booked Marcus for their Wedding in Hampshire • August 2024
“Marcus played at our wedding - both during the ceremony and the drinks reception. He was absolutely fantastic and wasn’t put off at all by the bad weather which meant he had to relocate halfway through the set. Our guest absolutely loved the music. He has such a lovely voice and it was just what we wanted. His communication was also great before and after the wedding. Marcus is such a lovely guy, and we’ll definitely recommend him to anyone and we’d love to use him again for future parties :).”
