Marcus Johnson is
an alto saxophonist quickly rising through the ranks of the New York City jazz
scene. As a product of the great musical city of Nashville,
Tennessee, Marcus developed his passion for music at a young age by
simply listening to his surroundings. Nashville’s wide range of musical styles
and traditions inspired him to develop a unique sound that draws from jazz,
R&B, funk, blues, soul and gospel. This contemporary jazz artist also comes
from a musical family and found great joy listening to his many musical family
members.


Marcus graduated
from Tennessee State University where he achieved degrees in Economics and
Finance. Throughout his time in college, Marcus made his way around
the local club circuit of Nashville with his band Nu Vibe. Marcus’
multiple interests and his drive to succeed led him to move to New York City
where he worked on Wall St. and lives out his passion of playing music. While
in NYC, he has quickly expanded his musical network and most recently recorded
with Producer Elite who has produced for hip hop artists Jadakiss, Nas, Common
and Grammy nominee for “Best New Artist” J. Cole. He can also be found playing
throughout New York’s boroughs with artists such as Cheryl Pepsi Riley, the
