ClassicMarqB’s music inspires listeners to live. He has the unique ability to package energy capsules in his music that activate as soon as you press play. ClassicMarqB was inspired to use MarqB as his stage name by Kendrick Lamar’s decision to stay true to his identity by using his real name. To mix identity with his mission, he added “Classic” to his name.    ClassicMarqB was born and raised in Norfolk, Virginia. His late mother taught him to DJ and encouraged him to play at his elementary school’s dances. He later developed a love for the drum set, started making beats in Middle School, and learned to record, mix, and master music in high school.   He has been featured on the Sunday Night Spotlight on 103 Jamz with DJ JackOfSpade. He’s been on 10 Billboards in his hometown, has gone viral (over 45,000+ views) with his music video for ‘Watergate’ featuring ItsMikeyMan, and has received over 126,000 views for his single ‘Wah Gwaan’. Currently at 750,000+ Youtube views overall.   ClassicMarqB has worked with popular music figures such as Kino Beats, Seddy Hendrinx, Young Crazy, Pyrex Whippa. Love, pain, heartbreak, trials, tribulations, and victories drive his music. This makes his music highly relatable. “I want people across this earth to feel like they belong somewhere when they listen to my music. If you can relate to my words, they’ll make you feel like you aren’t alone,” shared ClassicMarqB.
