Born in Dordrecht, the netherlands.. Markus had a happy childhood. No music influence from familymembers except for his grandfather, who played the trumpet as his main instrument. Mostly between end 30s and 60s. For his grandson Markus he would make an exception and play the trumpet or bluesharp for him. The lil Markus always interested in the rapture of music, was given an organ at age of 7. AFter learning what music was, he started to get the urge to play the guitar. With a handwritten notepad with how to play cords, Markus started out on his moms guitar. It wasnt for long that he started to write lyrics n texts, always making notes of what he experienced. On the age of 16 he completed his first song. And played in a band as leadguitarist and leadsinger. In church always singing with the youthevenings n of course playing his guitar almost nonstop.
Around his 20th birthday things started to go wrong for him, and had a really turbulent time. Allthough he never stopped writing his lyrics and playing his guitar when he could, the stress of his surroundings got the better of him. Drinking and doing weed, he ended up mentally broken, and screwed up. After recovering of this situation, he still felt depressed and to let it out he started to write again, and is writing still, to exhaust his experiences. Girlfriends, friends, heartake, good times and bad times, pain of the soul and struggles of the heart, and plain living life are all blended in songs. For the depressed part, he always tries to see the positive outcome and thats what can you hear in his music apart from the lyrics. After around 5 years ago, he did a lot of gigs, as well as his own music as covers. Wich did well to the public. He took a break for around a year because of his relationship with a woman he met. Again turbulent times started to evolve, and after this relationship, he decided to write what he had learned, to compose what is suitable to it, and to record what he had made. Eventually now here on myspace. Getting to record it at home and next year he will be given the chance to record in the studio, and publish his first album "Acoustic Recall". In between, he now already is working on his second album wich the title is unknown and to be discovered yet.
Describing his personality in keywords would be: Love to love, love to be loved, warm, happy most of the time, but when depressed he is it for the full monty, can be funny here and there, a helper, a songwriter in heart and soul, faithful, trustworthy, honoust, and no doubt a believer in Jesus. Also: doesnt like when people judge him, or/and be thinkin only for their own benefit.
Needs his coffee first in the morning. Needs to play guitar every single day to survive :) . Cooks pretty darn well for himself, but doesnt like to eat alone. Gives himself totally.. when in love, and too much for his own good.
Has a strong will, a typical figther for life and rights, a surviver.
Has a very strong connection with his parents.
Will jump through a fire for you, and respects you for who you are. Doesnt judge people, only judges certain behaviours or morally out of bounce choices.The plan for the coming period will be filled with writing/composing and recording, and probably doin gigs in between soon.
Also working with other musicians is wanted and in few a cases already happening.To all myspacers a fabutastic health,love and blesses wished.
