Marcus Johnson

A smooth jazz keyboardist, Marcus Johnson incorporates the rhythms of rap with the soul of R&B. Johnson grew up listening to a broad variety of music: his mother played classical piano and his first memorable concert experience was seeing an Earth, Wind & Fire show with his father. His interest in jazz first showed itself when he began tinkling the keys at age 13 (his step-father won Maryland's "Pick-3 Lottery" and used the winnings to buy Johnson's first keyboard) and he found himself studying both traditional and contemporary jazz musicians (Joe Sample and Thelonious Monk are two names he frequently cites).

Johnson also established Marimelj Entertainment Group, Inc., a production company and music publisher that prides itself on blending a mixture of contemporary jazz, alternative, and R&B to create what the company calls "the Urban Groove." ~ Zac Johnson, Rovi

Saw him at Bethesda Blues and Jazz clup in May 2013.
Very personable with the crowd and put on a fantastic show that kept me moving and grooving in my seat. His quartet is an accomplished group of musicians that blended with him that was aloud to do their own individual thing highlighting their own mastery of their instuments.
Me my wife and my freinds were truley entertained.
Marcus: We are waiting for your return to St. Thomas with Flo Wines! Outstanding work- stay in touch,
