Anwar On Drums

If someone has been escaping reality, I don’t expect him to dig my music.- Charles Mingus

About Me

My name is Anwar M. Marshall. I love God and I love music. That's my life.“My music is the spiritual expression of what I am — my faith, my knowledge, my being … When you begin to see the possibilities of music, you desire to do something really good for people, to help humanity free itself from its hangups … I want to speak to their souls.” - John Coltrane
