Artist History I'm a working musician (and occasional producer/arranger) of Sergipe's (the smaller state of Brazil) music scene. Besides playing for other artists as a sideman I write/record some tunes in my homestudio (with a little help from my friends). These tunes are 100% me, and the ones I'm most proud of. I hope you enjoy it!

Group Members Marcus - all electric and acoustic guitars, occasional bass guitar, vocals, drum programming. With special guests.
