Marlon has been creating music ever since he started singing and playing piano in church at the age of five. After graduating from Boston’s Berklee College of Music, the Maryland native moved to New York to follow his dream of becoming a session singer. “As a kid I always loved looking at the recording credits,” Marlon recalls. “Names like Fonzi Thornton, Tawatha Agee, Luther Vandross, Lani Groves, Hamish Stuart, and Patti Austin were always showing up. I loved the sounds these singers created. I knew I wanted to do that!” And so he did. Over the years, he has worked with a wide range of artists, including Sting, Martha Wash, Nine Inch Nails, Donald Brown, Lauryn Hill, Shania Twain, and Bobby McFerrin.

At GMG we worked on a track called “Chanel” for the upcoming movie Sex In The City.
