Performing all around Raleigh with the N-Tune Band, his name quickly became well-known, making him one of the most viewed acts in the Triangle area. Marcus was soon making a name for himself, and by his senior year in college, he was able to obtain an investment from the VP of Wachovia Bank to help jumpstart 24th Music.
