Musiq Soulchild is one of the most influential R&B singers of his generation. Weaned on Marvin Gaye, Stevie Wonder, and Donny Hathaway, Musiq pioneered the "neo-soul" movement of the early millennium. Musiq went from signing on the street corners of Philadelphia in the late go's, to landing a big record deal with Def Jam in 2000: ushering in a new age sound of his own.
D'Angelo established himself as an unwitting founder and leading light of the late-'90s neo-soul movement, which aimed to bring the organic flavor of classic R&B back to the hip-hop age. Modeling himself on the likes of Marvin Gaye, Prince, Curtis Mayfield, and Al Green, D'Angelo exhibited his inspirations not only with his vocal style -- albeit with a stoned yet emotive twist all his own -- but also wrote his own material, and frequently produced it, helping to revive the concept of the all-purpose R&B auteur.
Marcus Clarke is an R&B vocalist from Chesapeake, Virginia, known for his smooth tone and heartfelt storytelling. Influenced by classic soul and contemporary R&B, Marcus blends rich vocals with emotional authenticity, creating performances that connect deeply with audiences. He has sung background vocals for several major artists and has performed at festivals, churches, and live music venues throughout the region. As an emerging artist, Marcus continues to share his passion for music that inspires, heals, and brings people together. Tonight, he is honored to bring his signature sound to the stage at Keystone Korner Baltimore.
