Hailing from Leicester, of Afro-Caribbean descent, classically trained artist Marcus Joseph started playing clarinet when he was just 7 years old. After numerous academic achievements in music, he began playing in Leicestershire Arts County bands and orchestras. He gained airplay on BBC 1Xtra as a hip-hop DJ and MC and was subsequently inspired to pick up the saxophone and study jazz at universities in Leeds, London and New Orleans. His instrumental repertoire also includes alto-sax, aerophone and piano.

He has since played at landmark events such as Love Supreme and We Out Here.

Marcus has supported the likes of Oscar Jerome, Blue Lab Beats as well as The Blackbyrds and has also worked with such luminaries as Dennis Rollins, Arun Ghosh, Dave O'Higgins, Abram Wilson, Gary Crosby and Eska.

His work has been supported by Tom Robinson (6Music) and this, his new album released on Jazz re:freshed, is a warm fusion of jazz, reggae, hip-hop and contemporary music.
