My name is MARQUE WALKER. I am a producer, NOT a band so all of this music "Keybeeetsss" (u hear dat)...; I'm in Memphis, Tn, born & raised, but thanks to my God giving talent, I have been all over the world doing what I do. I am also a keyboardist as well as a producer so that's allowed me to play with as well as produced many different artists.
I started playing instruments @ the age of 3 & I got into the music business @ the age of 20. I did a cd when I was 15-17 & it came out when I was 19; the name of this cd IS "Marque Just Sittin In". This was in 1996 & it is still selling as of today. It's on Itunes as well as CDbaby. It's a jazz/easy listening/baby making cd so please patronize that piece....
I started producing seriously, but not, when I was 20.(long story as to y I say "but not") I worked for a company called SuaveHouz which was on Universal @ the time; It was the Label that then had 8-Ball & MJG + many more artists; it was da bizness @ that time & it allowed me to do remixes for Brian McKnight, Toni Braxton, work with Debelah Morgan, Jam master J, Ice Cube, Too Short, Dj Rodgers, Rodney Ellis, of course Ball & G, & many more............

The trick is to stay focused on what you want to happen and let go of what you do not... cuz if you keep seeing things as they are, convincing yourself that you "have to" because that's reality, then it will always be your reality. want to change? it's as simple as changing the who, what, how, why and when of what you look at and FOCUS on...
