East Denistone

Hailing from a tiny suburb known for the desolation of its train station more than anything else, Marcus&#39; fairly unnoteworthy early years were filled with hours tinkering away on the piano, putting together songs in the vein of the rock legends that had their CDs littered around the family house. The likes of <a href="spotify:artist:3PhoLpVuITZKcymswpck5b" data-name="Elton John">Elton John</a> , <a href="spotify:artist:6zFYqv1mOsgBRQbae3JJ9e" data-name="Billy Joel">Billy Joel</a> and <a href="spotify:artist:70cRZdQywnSFp9pnc2WTCE" data-name="Simon &amp; Garfunkel">Simon &amp; Garfunkel</a> found themselves on heavy rotation courtesy of his dad&#39;s music tastes. Having found difficulty in being forthcoming with his own vulnerabilities, songwriting became the natural avenue to express his own avalanche of spiraling thoughts.

Due to his susceptibility to peer pressure, once high school rolled around he was unable to resist the urge to pick up a guitar and start singing. He taught himself the chords he needed, and since then, hasn&#39;t been able to keep quiet. East Denistone&#39;s music encapsulates Marcus&#39; profound love for artists that triumph a soaring melody, introspective lyricism and rich atmosphere - drawing upon names like <a href="spotify:artist:2cCUtGK9sDU2EoElnk0GNB" data-name="The National">The National</a>, <a href="spotify:artist:12fRkVfO2fUsz1QHgDAG3g" data-name="Julia Jacklin">Julia Jacklin</a> and <a href="spotify:artist:4LEiUm1SRbFMgfqnQTwUbQ" data-name="Bon Iver">Bon Iver</a> for inspiration. In his craft, he applies a meticulous, borderline megalomanic, attention to detail to ensure that songs are brought to life in his own, idiosyncratic image.
