"When it comes to real piano sounds and user friendly keyboards, NO ONE tops Yamaha!!" – Marcus Malone
Memphis, Tennessee native, Marcus Malone has become a strong force in the Memphis music world. Since age 5, he has experimented with musical instruments; however, it wasn't until age 13 that he discovered a passion for piano and organ. Serving as organist at Mississippi Boulevard Christian Church in Memphis, Tennessee and Musical Director for Pastor Darrel Petties & S.I.P, Marcus's prestigious talents have taken him coast to coast. Marcus produced his first album in 2010 with Darrel Petties & S.I.P; which featured the song "New Season" that Marcus composed himself. He has performed with world renown gospel artists such as Donnie McClurkin, VaShawn Mitchell, Tamela Mann, Kurt Carr, Dorinda Clark-Cole, Hezekiah Walker, Tina Campbell & Le'Andria Johnson to name a few. Recently, Marcus was afforded the opportunity to play with the funk group Cameo; one of many childhood dreams of Marcus.
Marcus has been around the world sharing his gift of music; however, he has not lost his passion and desire to give back to his community. In June 2012, he started Total Experience School of Music teaching piano, organ and drum lessons. His goal is to have several schools across the country to provide opportunities to other musicians and nurture today's youth. Total Experience Productions is another vision of Mr. Malone. Producing an annual show, Church Girls Rock, among other jam sessions and musician sheds, has stapled Marcus Malone into Memphis's music community. Marcus is motivated knowing "The Sky is not the Limit" to his career; and living by Philippians 4:13" I can do all things through Christ who strengthens me.
