He has performed and recorded with an international array of leading musicians and producers including: Jazz legend Joe Zawinul (RIP); the infamous jazz/funk vibraphonist Roy Ayers; bassist supremo MeShell Ndegeocello; global-guitarist and Berklee Music Professor David Gilmore (Marque’s brother); multiple concerts and collaborations with Malian master musician-producer & historian Cheick Tidiane Seck, along with some of Mali’s most important artists such as kora virtuoso Toumani Diabate, Griot singer Kasse Mady, 2010 Grammy Nominees Oumou Sangare and Amadou & Miriam; London’s Future-Soul Masters Bugz In The Attic, Keziah Jones, Roachford, Noel McKoy, TY, Mica Paris, Talvin Singh, DJ/Producer/Educator STATE OF BENGAL and vocalist Susheela Ramen to name but a few. Marque has also been a crucial member of special music projects with classical pianist Katia Labeque and pop legend STING, created beats, loops and grooves for top dance-music producers Roger Sanchez, Robert Miles and drum’n’bass guru GOLDIE.... the list goes on.
At present (and since 2005) Marque has been touring worldwide with Cuban pianist OMAR SOSA. Their most recent CD recording together “Across The Divide” (Half Note) has been nominated for the 2010 Grammy Award for Best Contemporary World Music Album, bringing the number of 2010 Grammy nominated artists Marque works and collaborates with to a total of four! (including Cheick Tidiane Seck as producer of the Oumou Sangare album SEYA.)
Marque’s innovative and pioneering work in the UK’s cultural arts scene is well known and documented, and has been gratefully supported by the UK Arts Council, The Performing Rights Society Foundation (PRSF), British Council, The BBC, etc.
Since the early 90’s, his pioneering vision of rhythm and ancestry has literally given birth to a new and now fully-fledged music genre known as “LIVE DRUM’n’BASS” and as such, has helped to “write the book” on live interactive performance events from the world’s very first trans-Atlantic Internet jams (NYC-to-London, 1994) to touring globally and selling-out venues throughout the UK, Europe, Asia & Africa with completely original cross-arts, multi-media and multi-cultural events.
This work and vision continues with his 21st century humanitarian arts organization called The CHRONIC LOVE FOUNDATION (CLF) utilizing all forms of technology and commercial media to create unique programs in the arts to instigate massive changes in the lives of humans across the globe. Now officially launched into the stratosphere, teamed-up with CLF co-founder and UK Creative Arts Entrepreneur Mickey Smith, is the CLF ARTS CAFÉ & WAREHOUSE LOUNGE, located in Peckham South London, fast becoming the premier music and arts venue in London featuring a who’s-who of UK & international artists with masses of FREE events since its official launch in 2007. Many events also feature live collaborations with Gilmore & Smith’s Digital-Classical™ dance music project: THE CULTURE CHRONICS, the musical arm of The CLF.
Going back into time through to the present, Marque has always been involved with the most innovative, cutting-edge musical projects and artists and as such, has pioneered the development of Live Drum’n’Bass/Breakbeat music throughout the world, not to mention progressing the sound of many jazz and world music artists with the inclusion of his patented interactive “Acousi-Lectric Drumz” and futuristic playing/performance style.
This year 2012 will see the emergence of several new live and studio-only projects, plus the release of a plethora of new & unreleased albums, EPs & ReMiXeS from the archives of ‘the inna•most’, DRUM-FM and DHM Enterprises (Marque’s original Brooklyn-based production unit) under the project umbrella “20-X-12: 20 Projects-12 Months”
New projects include collaborations with one of the leading pioneers of Jungle/DnB production: SUBJECT13 of Vibez Recordings (a.k.a. ‘Mr.Lefteye’) and a new live performance collaboration with the UK MC legend and original Junglist label boss CONGO NATTY a.k.a. Rebel MC!
Also look out for the release of Marque’s new African Bass Music experiment: STEPPA’FRIQUE featuring Mozambican bassist CHILDO TOMAS (from the Omar Sosa group); an electronic duet album with the “Cuba’Lectric Scientist” Omar Sosa; FACE, an ‘Astro-Logical Jazz’ project with his brother David and French pianist/composer Andy Elmer, and a gang of special ReMiX and Re-Edit projects covering a Universe of musical genres and sonic pathways.
