From the boardroom to the studio, hip-hop recording artist J.Marquis has entered the music scene with a passion and vengeance with his recording of the underground hit song, ‘Taking over the world’ which has been downloaded online over 300,000 times within its first two weeks of release in July 2014.

 

A former business marketing consultant and executive, he took the risk and left the office for the stage. 

 

An accomplished serial-entrepreneur and tech startup advisor, who focused his early years in technology and real estate development, J.Marquis has become a leader of his native city of Indianapolis by giving back to the youth through his national non-profit organization of Dreamapolis. With a background as a marketing consultant to several fortune 500 companies. He embodies the 'American Dream' with his departure from corporate America to music.

 

Born and raised in the Indianapolis Blackburn Terrace public housing projects.  J.Marquis has become a true reflection and example of a rags-to-riches story.

 

His soulful style and playful personality is heard in every track, as he is often compared to his influences.
