COLE
MARCUS was born a little over 4 years ago to parents that
are both musicians, the father, a professional drummer and producer,
and the mother, a professional vocalist.
As
early as 8 weeks old, Cole started showing signs of musical gifts,
and mom knew he had perfect pitch.
At
around 10 months, before he could even walk, Cole used to crawl
with drumsticks in hand, and climb up onto the drum throne (seat)
and was able to play a legitimate beat.
At
16 months, he was sitting in with daddy's band playing the blues
and rock & roll.
At
age 2, he was sitting in with daddy's gospel band at church, and
was able to play difficult contemporary gospel pieces with the choir
and all.
At
age 2 1/2, he performed his first concert, opening for 2 major gospel
recording artists.
But basically, Cole is driven, self-promoting, and completely obsessed
with drums and music. He composes music daily, masterpieces that
are complex and articulate.
Any
surface he sees becomes a drum, he continually has orchestration
going on in his head, and can't sit still long enough because he
just has to get it out!
He
has impeccable music interpretation, and has the ability to play
along with a band or ensemble without ever hearing the music piece,
but playing proficiently, as if he had already rehearsed it. It's
unbelievable!
