Marcus Sylvan

Starting as a self-taught pianist, his real experience as a musician began with playing the piano live for covers bands in bars and at private parties.
This is how he came to discover his own individual sound and to enrich it with the varied range of styles that he was able to play in these groups (funk, rock,pop, reggae, jazz, salsa).
But however valuable the stage experience may have been, he still lacked experience of studio work, not just as a session musician but - especially - in terms of production. So he decided to invest in some studio equipment to become familiar with using it.
He traveled mainly to London to learn how to develop these techniques. During his travels, he built up contacts in the music industry. This gave him opportunities to work with various producers and singers.(Bio "Nouvelle Vague")
