A soulful, progressive, widely dynamic and explosive singer prone to sudden Sufi singer Nusrat Ali Khan-like caterwauls, Markel who has been compared by the press to some of the greatest singers of our time including Bono, Jeff Buckley and Robert Plant.
Principal writer of of the songs "Strong As I Am", a child's message to his parents, and "Ghost Beside My Bed", based on an actual event, Markel's music has been heard the world over via radio, television and DVD. "Strong As I Am" first charted within The BBC Top 20 and was then chosen personally by director Michael Mann for his cult classic "Manhunter." The song's message of child/parent forgiveness and reconciliation strikes a universal chord in fans the world over and continues generating fans 20 years later via the film and many fan comments and blogs throughout the web.
"Ghost Beside My Bed," produced by Tony Berg, went 1 on Rock Radio in 1991 in many states in the U.S. and top 30 nationally. The song, with its Radiohead and Pink Floyd like properties and mixed by legendary mixer/producer Bob Clearmountain, (Paul McCartney, Bruce Springsteen and others), stood in profound contrast to the radio fare that year.

Love - 09/23/07
Real love, not false, nor projected, nor transactional love, but real love, will require you to look into it's mirror and face that which challenges and frightens you the most about yourself.
Love's reflection of yourself will humble you.
Your ego and wounds will be revealed in the light of love's truth, and the process that will then begin, from what you are to what you yearn to be, from false love to real love, will be amongst the hardest you will ever experience and you will wish to quit...
But you must not quit, for the pain of your transformation is not a harsh destination, but a necessary gateway of birth that will precede the homecoming of your arrival in a place where your ego cannot exist and your deepest wounds are healed, a place where you'll meet your true self for the first time and hold your beloved in the beauty, truth, and light of real love...
