With his ethereal, multi-octave voice, perfect pitch and flawless phrasing, he has emerged as a contemporary vocalist with few peers.
After a string of disappointments from record producers and companies that even folded, this album had to happen. I'm happy I was able to help. Marcus is a unique vocal talent who deserves wider recognition.
From the start, whether he is singing Jazz, Pop, Soul, R & B or standards, he is able to create vocal images that are masterpieces in each idiom. That is his gift.
This soulful, emotionally charged album possesses an astonishing technical facility fused with an emotional depth that is rare. His musical dynamics reveal an awesome command of phrasing, texture and rhythm sounding more like a virtuoso jazz musician. While many have tried to pigeon-hole him, Marcus Simeone's voice that defies comparison and is at home in all genres of music.
