More about Marcus...
Marcus has been involved in music for 23 years, honing his talent as a Panman and sharing his gift with others.
Over time, he moved from a box in in the back of a steelband (because he was too short), to the box in front. He is now an Steelpan Arranger and Composer.
Marcus has arranged music for many bands, including, the Simple Song Steel Orchestra, Sangre Grande Junior Secondary School and the Pan Stereonettes, to name a few.
For Marcus, music is a way of life. He teaches music professionally, is an Officer with the TTCF and is Presenter on the Radio Station 94.7 FM. He is constantly surrounded by music.
When asked what inspires him most, Marcus replies, "It's a gift from God. I was destined to do this."
