Marcus Johnson is an alto saxophonist rising through the ranks of the Smooth jazz scene. As a product of the great musical city of Nashville, Tennessee, Marcus developed his passion for music at a young age by beginning to play the saxophone at the age of 10. Nashville’s wide range of musical styles and traditions inspired him to develop a unique sound that draws from jazz, R&B, funk, blues, soul and gospel.
This contemporary jazz artist also comes from a musical family and found great joy listening to his many musical family members.
In 2010, at twenty-two years old, Marcus graduated from college with a degree in Economics and Finance and landed
a job on Wall Street.
While in NYC, Marcus immediately regained his inspiration for the music scene, specifically jazz. One week, Marcus decided to take a week off, head down to Philadelphia and study under Grammy Award winning producer Elite and the famed Quad Studio who has produced music for hip hop icons such as:
2015 Academy Award-winning hip- hop artist Common (“Glory”)
Def Jam’s Jada Kiss
Grammy Award-winning Artist Nas
Grammy 2014 “Best New Artist” J. C
