This is where the music business will end up. With the sales of MP3 players and such on the rise, CD street sales are fast becoming a media of the past. The internet is the place to get all you music.

No, for they will only attempt to rip you off in the long run, Indie is the new way.

"Sing unto Him a new song; play skillfully with a loud noise..."

Psalms 33:3

Born in Oceanside, California, raised in Passaic, New Jersey, the younger of two children, Anthony Marcus was influenced by music at an early age. His father, an ex-marine staff sergeant, his mother held various positions in the workforce until finally settling into credit and collections.

Music came naturally to Anthony, upon auditioning for the elementary school band, the instructor told him that he had a “natural ear” and could play any instrument he wanted to

It was the age of 9 when Anthony decided he wanted to play guitar…

“My cousin was taking guitar lessons, and he and I were close. I have always had a fascination with the guitar, and I wanted to learn as well.”

So began the years of “self teaching”. Anthony purchased 2 books, from these books he discovered chord structures and soloing.

Many influences are responsible for the molding and shaping of Anthony Marcus as an artist.

As well as music within the secular world, Anthony was also influenced by gospel music as well. Being assigned the task of choir director at the age of 12, Anthony learned not only the musical assembly of instruments, but vocals as well.

“God will always be the main part in my life, not only in the past, but in the present as well. I feel that my talent in music is a God given talent, and as such I use this talent that He has bestowed upon me to glorify His name. Let’s face it, without Him, none of this would be possible, by myself, nor any other artist in this industry”

This brings us to where we are today with this up and coming artist. His debut CD on the "Finyl Cut Communications" label (his own) entitled "Distant Lands" has received a resounding "nod" of approval by both national as well as international listeners alike. His soon to be released sophmore effort "Offline" shows a new direction in growth and potential.

Start at "Aerosmith" and end at "Frank Zappa" and all points inbetween.
