SOLO ARTISTES & DUOS for hire
MARCUS WILLIAMS
Information
Marcus is a commanding, musician and vocalist, with a personality to match his music.
Having turned professional at the age of 18, Marcus joined BACCHUS an English Pop Dance Band and toured with the band for the good part of 3 years. They played in Germany, Canada, and England and on various Cruise Ships.
Marcus then met with Clem Curtis (lead vocalist The Foundations) and was offered the job of organist/pianist with the band. With hits Baby Now That I found you and Build Me Up Buttercup worldwide, saw Marcus travel all over the world performing large concerts both indoor and outdoor.
9 Years later Marcus was asked to play the piano and sing in a London venue by Mike Gelardi Managing Director of Grosvenor Productions and subsequently was offered various contracts (both in land and abroad). This is when he started developing a brand new career as a solo performer which has carried him through till the present day.
Marcus repertoire is truly diverse and immense. Marcus can entertain at the piano in a close-contact sort of scene, or as a cabaret act, or simply playing the piano in a foyer of a five star hotel for easy listening. Marcus' repertoire is drawn from a selection of jazz, standards and 'The Great American Songbook'.
Some Venues where Mark performed as a solo artist:
The Europa Hotel Gothenburg, The Gothia Hotel Gothenburg, Grosvenor House Hotel London, The Green Room London, Le Francis Piano Bar Geneva Switzerland, Inter-Continental Hotel Zurich, The Griffins Club Geneva Switzerland, The Golf Hotel Gstaad Switzerland, Harry's New York Bar Geneva Switzerland, Viking Line Stockholm Sweden, The Sea Princess P&O Cruises, Holiday Inn Oslo Norway, Holiday Inn London, Scandic Crown Hotel Sundsvaal Sweden, Le Francis Piano Bar Rougemont Switzerland, Fairways Hotel Ireland and 10s more venue in UK and abroad.
Marcus is now back home in England after a long stay in Germany, Monte Carlo, Seattle Washington and about 7 world cruises which took me all over the world. It was great, but it's also great to be home!
