Marlon's Story....

I love to sing. Always have, always will. That much I know for sure. I swear it must be in my blood. If you asked any of my friends from school they'd tell you I was the guy in the back corner either tapping my pencils (using them as drum sticks) on my desk or singing. Always singing. I started out singing songs in front of my family. Didn't most of us do that? When we were about 11 years old, my cousin Jim & I would gather up my brother Joel & his sister Colleen and we would get a whole band going for some of our family shows. Shortly after that Jim & I wrote our first and only song (he's now an accountant). I think it was called School Sucks... no really. haha! Go figure. I still remember most of it and have the Lyrics kickin' around somewhere.I was born in Vancouver, British Columbia, Canada. My Dad owned a Chevron in Coquitlam, BC while I was growing up. I started working there when I was 11, and continued until I was 19. Although I began singing at 2, this was where my singing days really took off. I would grab an air hose and hold it on top of the shop broom as if it were my Mic & Cable. I would start wailing away anything that I was listening to at the time, but one day I got caught singing probably the worst song you could imagine (if someone was watching you that is)... Samantha Fox's "Touch Me". Looking back on it, it's kind of funny really. I never had even thought of singing in a band, but a drummer from a local band happened to be getting gas, got out of his car and heard singing in the distance. He walked up to the service garage doors, watched for a bit (and I'm sure laughing to himself) and said "Hey, do you want to be in a band?" I stopped and thought to myself, this guy can't be serious? So I just said "sure!"After many cancelled tryouts for the band, we finally jammed at the bass players house a couple weeks later. They gave me this crappy Radio Shack microphone that was plugged into an even crappier guitar amp and I remember it like it was yesterday. The first song was Bryan Adams' "Hidin' From Love" and while I sang the first line: "I'm ridin' in the middle, half way into you" I looked over at Mike and the smile on his face said it all. The song ended and Mike said "You're in!"I had many amazing years playing in the band but bands.... are a tough thing. You gain freindships and then things part ways usually one way or another either from too many egos in one room or things just don't gel. We went through many members and then when I had my first child, I had to think seriously about where my life was going. Playing in a band at nights and working a job for $10 bucks an hour wasn't going to cut it. I started my own landscape company, sort of put the microphone down and never looked back. Although I stopped playing for quite some time, I always continued to write songs with couple of really great guitar players. I mean... I've wanted to do this since I was 15 and it's been one hell of a long ride writing for this CD: Late Day Sun. While putting it all together I decided on the 10 songs that I think are the best, and mean the most to me. I really hope you enjoy the music, crank it up in your car and just feel good about living!Thanks for reading. Love & Gratitude.... M.

In life, the first thing you must decide is what you really want. Then make up your mind to go after your goal with all your might.

Marlon's CD: Late Day Sun

I started my studio out in my dad's basement in 1989 with a 1/4 inch Reel To Reel "Tape" Recorder, a power amp, speakers, a couple of microphones and a few other odds and ends. Luckily for me I was able to start my own company as a Landscaper in 1996 and saved up to buy equipment for my home studio. Many years went into everything you hear on my website, and everything I continue to write and record. The music industry has changed so much since then, that I literally only have one or two pieces of that original gear left. Everything went digital and with that happening, not only did I have to replace everything, but I have to keep doing it repeatedly every year. Upgrading, upgading, upgrading! As long as you have the funds to do so, it's actually fun! I love new stuff!Writing, recording, producing, mixing and putting a project like this together usually takes a whole team of people to put together. Major record companies have endless amounts of money and lots of clout to get things done. I am 100% fully independent. To get a CD done these days as an independent it takes a lot of time, patience and yes... money. So hey if you want a CD, click above on the CD Baby logo or you can click on the Buy CD button at the bottom of the page which goes DIRECTLY to my personal PayPal account. So hey.... crank up some of my tunes while you sip a Latte (or a cold one if coffee isn't your thing), enjoy the music and come out to a live show when I'm in your area. Love & Gratitude...Marlon
