"Now more than anything... Bless my soul"

About Me

Bold, soulful and musically refreshing are just a few of the words which come to mind when describing singer-songwriter Marcus Cole. Blessed with a distinctive voice and the gift to craft songs in a unique and poignant way, Cole is definitely one of the most exciting talents to emerge upon the music scene in years. While it is common for all music to be placed within a descriptive genre, Coles versatility as an artist precludes his being labeled as simply gospel. His music ministry scratches beyond the surface message of Christ and will appeal to the masses in an honest and thought provoking way.
A native of Saginaw Michigan, who from a young age recognized his eventual call to ministry, Cole has devoted the past decade of his life to refining both his ministry and considerable musical gifts. As a respected vocalist, songwriter, musician and producer, Cole garners the respect of his peers within the gospel music industry. It was as a member of the seminal gospel group Commissioned that Coles voice was first introduced to a national audience and left its indelible mark in the hearts and minds of countless gospel music lovers. Cole feels blessed to have received such favor in his professional life and welcomes the next chapter with the release of his debut album Write My Song.
Featuring 11 incredible tracks, Write My Song takes its listeners on a musical journey that will appeal not only to aficionados of gospel music, but to all who appreciate great music, irrespective of genre. Co-written by Cole and produced by Luther Mano Hanes, this album truly offers something for everyone. From the old school R&B flavored track Thats Alright, to the lushly stringed ballad Remember To Breathe, one can find it all on this project. Beyond the albums extraordinary musicality however is the conveyance of one central message.To be encouraged and that there is always hope through Christ. Says Cole What I want people to know foremost through my music is that no matter how dark the road in life may now be, it doesnt necessarily mean thats where youll end up.

Sincerity in music

I wonder sometimes where we are going in the direction of recordings and performances (ministry). Is it more about us or whom we represent? I believe God honors the selfless act of presenting a genuin...
