God is good ALL the time.
It has been a minute since I have been here. Now, truly spirit filled and empowered, I return to musically share the good news of Jesus' return.Band/artist history
"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.Have you performed in front of an audience?Currently gearing up for tour.

Hi Anthony..
Listened to several of your tunes..
Very slick Pikcn'..Love your style..
See Ya,
Tal..moments of Hendrix, moments of Living Color - hot stuff, very classy guitar on the ballad. Well done!
RApplesHi,
Great playing and sounds here.The ballad is nice too. Hendrix lives!
Good work.
Al HHot stuff, man! A good example of flat out playing ability and good sense - flashy in spots, but judiscious enough to show restraint when necessary - a rare combination.
I always tell people when you create, you're sharing in the Creator's work. I hope your life and the lives of those around you continues to be enriched by your talent.All comments (8)
