Marlon Saunders has, for several years, toured with Bobby McFerrin as a member of his world-renowned vocal group, Voicestra. He has shared the stage with the incredible jazz vocalist Dianne Reeves, recorded/toured with Joe Henderson, Ron Carter, Shawn Colvin, Nine Inch Nails, Billy Joel, Jane Siberry, Shania Twain, Vanessa Williams, Stevie Wonder, Sting, Martha Wash, Michael Jackson, Lauryn Hill, Freddie Jackson, Jeffery Osbourne, Tramaine Hawkins, Peabo Bryson, Dance Theatre of Harlem, and Ronald K. Brown/Evidence Dance Company. Marlon has sung on over 100 radio and television commercials, including Oscar Mayer, Pizza Hut, Bud Lite, Diet Coke, and most recently Pepperidge Farm Goldfish.
He recently had his debut on the big screen as the calypso singer in the Disney blockbuster, Enchanted, in which he sang "That's How You Know" with star Amy Adams. He reprised his role live on stage at the 80th Annual Academy Awards, when the song was nominated for an Oscar (watch videos below).
Marlon has two solo recordings on his independent label, Black Honey Records—A Groove So Deep: The Live Sessions (2005) and Enter My Mind (2003). His multi-media jazz work, Workin’ on a Building: Compositions of Black Life, premiered in Chestertown, MD in 2006, and in New York City in the summer of 2007. He is currently recording his new CD, Birth of Revelation, which will be released in 2009. Marlon recently co-produced (with Shawn Lucas) the debut release of soul-jazz artist April Hill, titled Love 360 (Jazzy Peach Music/SoulBrother Records UK, 2007), ), and is currently producing the upcoming recording by latin/soul artist Gemma Genazano. Marlon is also one of the founding members and the lead singer of the eclectic soul-jazz group, Jazzhole. Their fifth CD, Poet’s Walk, was released in the summer of 2006.

Hello, my friend. Just coming through with a thought I had recently. Be well :)
Sometimes when i look around, all i see is misery, despair, frustration and pain...
Then, i close my eyes, take a couple deep breaths, RELAX...And ask myself, "WHAT IF all I saw was what I WANTED TO SEE?" Then, I open my eyes. I see the sun, I see the blue sky, I see my girls smiling back at me, I see life...
And then, lo and behold, I see nothing but OPPORTUNITY...

Hey Marlon, Long time man, how you been? I just want to let you know that the hundreds of students I've taught in Colorado, Montana, Wyoming, and Alaska have all thought it was super awesome that I know the amazing singer in Enchanted. Of course I knew you were awesome years ago, that's why I took as many classes with you as I could. I miss it man, I miss making great music and being in the presence of great musicians. Glad you're still at it, keep cranking out the tunes! If I ever cut a good album, you're on it!
Hello, my friend. Another Tankism to brighten your week. Hope it helps :)
Look at life from the perspective of what you have NOW, what you are grateful for NOW. If you continue to look into the PAST as to what you have lost, when you open your PRESENT, you will not like what you get. However, by focusing firmly on where you are directing your FUTURE by thinking on those things which are good and pure and what you do want to happen, as you unfold your PRESENT, you will find the gift that you know you really want. And, it really is that simple. As a wise person once said: If you believe you can't, you're rightif yet if you believe you CAN, you're right. What do you believe? :)
