About Me

Singer, Song writer, and producer, need i say more. The 3 joys of my life = My Music!!!My Fam!!!My God!!!As it says above, my names marcus courtney mcneish, and this band consists of me, me, and last but not least me lol trying to be everything i can be. As i see it lifes to short to live in the dark and let it waste away, so i’m gonna spend it doing what i love to do, making music.Why i love to sing? I love to sing as at times it seems to be all i have to comfort me and strengthen me when times are hard. That’s not true but what it feels like, other than God, it’s my best friend and my escape from this world and all it’s hardships as well as being my connection to it, all the good like my family, (blood and spiritual), my friends, my dreams, and ofcourse , my God. As far back as i care to remember music has played i huge role in my life, and from growing up within such a musical family it’s always seemed to me as though music and especially singing was written into my destiny. Now 18 years of age i can say comfortably that it feels as though i’ve been singing for what feels like an eternity perfecting my instrument (my voice), yet believe there’s much more to learn lol, i feel it’s about time i step into my destiny and use what God gave me to make a change, not only in my life, but in the lives of theres i love and care for, my monumentally for my mother and father, i love them truly. So many things they missed out on and oppurtunities they never saw, are laid bare before me due to what i consider i gift. Understand times have been hard and continue to be, but it only takes one who is prepared and ready to recieve what is due to not only them, but the labours of the many generations before them to make a change, and a history of the hard times,. That’s my goal! That, and heaven lol.My Style? My style and direction is mainly soul and rnb, but i am truly on a neo-soul thang if not straight soul. Soul, Rnb, Funk and Jazz all wrapped into one, i love it. Right now my top artist is Rashaan Patterson, but saying that it’s easy to tell i’m a huge fan of Musiq Soulchild, as well as Jill Scott, D’angelo, Dwele and Omar, there’s a few more but these are the top 5. But to be honest i’m on trying a bit of everything. If the beats hot, it has a genuine direction, and lyrically can make sense, i’m on it! And not forgetting it needs to be original, i’m an artist and you can’t be an artist by copying. If your gonna do a cover make it a good cover.Well that’s me, thanks for checking the Myspace, feel free to add me, drop a comment, leave a message, we can talk, alls welcome.Singers, writers, producers get in touch and we can make sumthin happen.Peace, Love, and Music,Marcus Mcneish .Xxx

My Interests

Music:

Member Since: 17/05/2006
Band Members:

Influences: To be honest there's really just to many to count, but here's just a few: Anthony Hamilton, James, Brown, Prince, Donnie Hathaway, Smoky Norful, Mahalia Mackson, Kirk Franklin, Dennis Brown, Tevin Cambell, The Marley's, Glenn Jones, Marvin Gaye, The Winans, Jimmy Hendrix, Nat King Cole, George benson, Musiq Soulchild, Donell Jones, Jaheim, D'angelo, Luther Vandross, Stevie Wonder, Boys II Men,Aretha Franklin, Micheal Jackson, Omar, Billy Holiday, and anyone else who's influenced music today, oh and my daddy, yes he is a singer too. As well this i can't leave out my savior Jesus Christ, (just because He's last it doesn't mean i put Him last, it's just because He needs the most space), if any one influenced me it would be the one who has given me so much and asked for so little in return. All his love and all his care, is what inspires me, and when it comes to the point where i can't pray, i just sing. It doesn't matter what the song because i'm communicating with the Almighty, He knows why i'm singing the song that i'm singing, and understands what's going on within my mind, my body, and spirit when i sing it. Once all the things of the world have gone away, the only thing left is to praise Him. Rahsaan Patterson. Amazing range.D'angelo needs to come back and change the sound of rnb and soul once more, unmistakable talent. If he ain't gone do i'm gonnahave 2 find a way 2 do it LOL!!!This right here was the film that really inspired me to want to sing LOL. No lie!!! A Goofy Movie all the way!!!If this guy ain't inspiring who is. The legendary Stevie Wonder. Each note flows like water. Nothing but ease and control.Tevin Campbell. No matter wot happened, his voice was amazing.It's Luther Vandross need i say more.
Sounds Like: I don't have a clue who i sound like. I've been told i sound like one of the guys fom Boys II Men and a couple of times Donell Jones. I personally don't think i sound like anyone and don't really want to, God has blessed this voice for a purpose, but i'm curious to know who people think i sound like so i'll leave it up to you to decide.
Type of Label: Major
