Artist description My name is Marc Supsic, and I'm a 30 year-old native of the suburban Philadelphia town of Flourtown, PA. As a musician, I'm self-taught. I can play quite a few instruments, but don't claim to be a master of any single one. Like most people, I listen to many different types of music; but what I feel makes me different is that I never strive to sound like what I listen to. Instead, I simply let what I write come from within. Fortunately, in the end it comes out sounding like me. While not perfect, I feel I have a unique style and voice. I never had vocal training, so my voice is a bit gravely and uncontrolled (think Tom Waits meets Elvis Costello). To me, it is a texture that I feel fits well over top of my layered, melodic, acoustic-influenced rock (think of Phil Spector and the Beatles). After years of compromising with other musicians, I decided to try writing on my own. The albumTwo Sides is my first singular effort, done in my living room and kitchen over the last two years.

Musical Influences The Beatles, Five For Fighting, Tea Party, Kings X

Artist History I've played for almost ten years starting in Eighties Hair Metal Bands and eventually working my way into a sucessful local-level band called Jades Parlor. We recorded quite a few albums, gained lots of experience, airplay and were solicited by a few labels in the mid-nineties. I learned the most about recording, performing and producing in Jades Parlor. After a few years together, the band broke up and I formed The Rainland, another pop group, marking my first attempt at recording and producing on my own. Soon after the band's demise, I started recording and writing on my own. The result is my Two Sides album, my most ambitious and successful endeavor to date.
