Marcus Whitted

Dance

Marcus Whitted began discovering and experimenting with electronic music when listening to Sony Playstation game soundtracks. Marcus’ first inspirations were from bands like, Prodigy, Chemical Brothers, and The Crystal Method, for Marcus they started it all. At age 13 Marcus started getting curious with instruments and keyboards. With his eye set on the Yamaha DJX keyboard, he dreamed of owning it and making music. Though he never got his keyboard, his dream never faded. Several years later Marcus was introduced to computer based music production. Marcus soon found himself fascinated with the ability to combine and layer sounds to create a whole new sound. Though surrounded by hip hop producers Marcus’ passion for electronic music remained. After gaining some confidence from the ridicule of his hip hop peers, Marcus dedicated himself to making “songs”. This then called him to learn the structure of music. After attending a music theory course, Marcus gained the knowledge he sought. In turn, the music theory course also introduced him to scales, chords, and other musical elements. Soon after, Marcus began hitting a creative wall. For the next 2 years Marcus continued to create music and soul search and by the end of this period Marcus needed a change of scenery. He then moved to Florida to attend college for professional recording and music business. Here Marcus expanded his knowledge of music, recording, and even DJing. This college experience was a game changer, from this point forward Marcus was more musically open and began creating on a new level and has not stopped since. Future steps for Marcus include pressing forward and making music a full time career. Marcus’ level of passion has not faded since his first song. He looks forward to learning more about the music business and perfecting his music, while collaborating with other artists and filling out a very passion filled, creative life.
