DAVID MARION began his musical career at the age of 6 by playing a variety of musical instruments. By 10, he changed his focus from clarinet to drums and, then, began his career in bass guitar at 16.
To further cultivate his interest as a bass player, he attended C.I.M., a jazz music institute located in his native land of Paris, France.
From there, DAVID MARION continued his studies and obtained a scholarship to attend Berklee College of Music in Boston, MA.
He also got the opportunity to take lessons with the great VICTOR WOOTEN from Bela Fleck and the Flecktones, STEVE BAILEY and ADAM NITTI at the Bass/Nature Camp in Nashville, TN.
Raised as a Christian and inspired by artists like Fred Hammond and Kirk Franklin, he gained more experience by playing with Gospel bands (New Gospel Family, Jo Ann Pickens, Gospel Act, Maggie Blanchard, Exo...). Since then, he has performed world-wide (Europe, Australia, Africa, Pacific, Canada...) with various television/radio appearances (Hit Machine, Top of the Pop, Urban Rush, 20h10 pétante, CBC, Fréquence Jazz...) for different genres of music (Rock, Pop, Soul, Folk-Rock, Gospel, World, Smooth Jazz...).

Hello DAVID, i loved your gig with Melanie very much ! You are a really great bass player and very polite. Thxs so much, that we have met each other cu u tomorrow in Munich airport STEFAN
David je suis fier de voir comment tu joues et comment tu as réussi. En fait, c'est à moi de te remercier. Le meilleur pour toi. Amitiés Tony Ballester.
Nice to become more acquainted with your music. What style DON'T you play? I really like your playing in Crystal, Jazz Rite and the Passenger. I feel honored to have requests from such amazing, versatile musicians like yourself. Thank-you.
David, am I right in assuming you write the songs and sing too? If so, the lyrics are REALLY impressive...very intelligent and insightful :-)
And it's so nice to hear a BASS GUITARIST for a change instead of bass player. Like the wonderful John Entwistle, you play it as a lead instrument. Rock on!
