Marquis Melody stands at the crossroads where authentic roots reggae meets world beat. The Oakland California based singer is a sponge that soaks up myriad influences but squeezes them out in the form of solid roots rock reggae.
With his latest release Roots Party he is set to take center stage after recording and performing for close to a decade. The single is a hard hitting composition with the lyrical quest of searching for that place of satisfaction which Marquis describes as a "roots party". Found on the same riddim as Sizzla's - Why Shoud I it is the title track for an EP to be released shortly on VP subsidiary VPAL.
He is of Jamaican heritage but was born in the United States. During his adolescent years he briefly lived in the island in the Manning Hills area. He always knew that music was calling him and learnt to play the guitar at an early age. Attending University of California he became quite popular performing on campus.
Making frequent trips to Jamaica he embarked on a recording career working with some of the islands top musicians. Taking up residence in studios like Anchor and Tuff Gong the result was his debut album Straight From The Heart. The nineteen track opus distributed through CD Baby featured the single Sunshine. With videos for Sunshine and another song Hearts Of Fire, and steady airplay Marquis began to gain a small but loyal following on the west coast and in Europe. So successful was Sunshine that it was even in the early running for a reggae grammy in 2009, though it fell short of the final list. He also made the runs of various clubs and festivals from Seattle to Los Angeles.
