The Building of a Legacy - MARCUS ANDERSON

This native of Spartanburg, South Carolina, has risen in the jazz industry's ranks securing a position as one of the most sought-after musicians in the world. Anderson, a twotimes nominated Grammy and Stellar award artist, has established his sound, showmanship, and business acumen with no apologies.

imageAnderson's musical resume is nothing short of impressive. With fifteen albums, five number one Billboard hits, and a lengthy performance history, this multi-instrumentalist continues to soar above new heights. Anderson, perhaps most well-known for his incredible saxophone, delivers to any audience a vibrant stage presence with wellexecuted dance moves and vocal charms. His performances include those with artists at the top of entertainment's pinnacle and those who find notable adoration among the masses. Prince, Stevie Wonder, Sheila E, Brian Culbertson, Eric Benet, Lalah Hathaway, Ceelo Green, Anthony Hamilton, and Jennifer Holiday, and Miguel are just a few to be named. Anderson has also blessed dignitaries President Barack Obama, Jesse Jackson, and Hillary Clinton with his musical genius.
