About Me

MyGen Profile GeneratorWelcome...

Who on earth..?
Who on earth..?

Hey there, welcome to my music site. My name is Marc and I live in South Wales, UK. Although I was originally from the merry Bristol region. I moved here in 2000 and am slowly settling down and, as cliche as it sounds, starting to find myself. I enjoy Writing Music, Listening to music, and, well, if music is involved, I'll probably like it, too! Aside from music, I guess I am a typically normal dude, that likes his movies (esp horror!!!), and computer games... guess I'll never grow up! Saying that, why would I want to?! I'm very child-like in terms of what I want and expect life to be. I have a tendancy to find people odd, but they all say the same about me! Lol!

I am an only child, so I guess that means I'm a slight spoiled, but I always put others before myself. I am also a typical water sign (Pisces), in that I am always dreaming, sensitive, and creative. These characteristics can tend to leave me vunerable, and those who know me know I am very moody... which is good, cause when I am happy, I am VERY happy, but when I'm angry... well, look out hehehe!!!
I set up this page for a number of reasons which I am constantly trying to fulfill. I want people to hear my work, and hear what they have to say about it. I want to be introuduced to a number of people who may share similar quirks, or traits; and even the opposite, and meet people who aren't like me at all, and hopefully learn and grow from these encounters. I also want to just rant and babble at somewhere, or something, and if 1 person listens, then I'm a happy guy!I have another Myspace website, that's more about me:
www.myspace.com/mercurymarc
You can email me on either page, though I tend to be on here a lot more!!!So why music?
So why music?

I've been writing music now since I was 14, which I guess isn't an early age. My Music teacher literally poached me away from doing art in school, and I'm glad she did, because I haven't stopped writing music since (Thank you, Mary!)

I am completely self taught, and learnt how certain sounds work and through trial and error, have got to where I am today with music. My keyboard is a beast, that is now 4 years old, but still is my companion. (It's a Genesys for those who are music boffins!) I use music as a therapy tool, and find writing music the best thing to do after a stressful day / week / month etc. The music is purely for my own pleasure, initially, however people seem to think I have a bit of talent, and enjoy sharing my work. (not live though, cause that would be way to scary!!!) I also write music on the guitar, because you tend to get a slightly different melody from singing with it, but my playing skills are very limited. I literally know the chords and thats about it!
I would really like to stress that I am aware my singing isn't the best! And it never will be. But that's ok! You see, as I mentioned, I write music for me, not for any notoriety. I love singing, as it soothes me, hense why I haven't got someone to sing my tunes. However, if people can get past the whole "Flat-as-a-fart" voice... then woo to you lol! It's my Dad's fault! He's tone deaf... and all my friends can vouch for that!!!
And there you have it. This is my music. Please please tell me what you think, as I'd love to hear some feedback from my Myspace buddies!!! Peace and stay Wired,

You have been marked on my profile map! Click to zoom-in.
Sounds Like: Hard to say... It's an unusual mix... although generally on keyboard, so it does tend to have an electro quality. However, the new tunes are more earthy and piano based! I am influenced greatly by the music and the artist around me. It also depends on the mood I am in at the time. I guess the answer is have a listen to the tunes that are up and you tell me!
Record Label: Aww bless I don't have one lol
Type of Label: None
