With his Towering, boyishly handsome physique, he boasts a baritone dipped in the gravel and gravy of Southern Soul, Bradd Marquis is one of the streets and the steeple. Coming from a dedicated faith and community service, Marquis started his life in front of the pews. He rocked the church with preternaturally grown vocals until high school. After teaming up with Baby Face’ s production team he refined his music and engineering skills. 

His latest release is his most assured set to date. Titled ‘Thank You‘, it’s upbeat, melodic and undeniably soulful party music. Largely written and recorded in five days with sole producer Angelo Ray, the more up-tempo “Thank You” is a love letter to everyone who stuck by and loved Marquis through his turmoil and evolution into manhood. Straddling the line between secular and spiritual, Marquis writes honest material of life and love lessons. With unvarnished musical illustrations of an artist stripped of both ego and mask to reveal the interiors of his heart, connecting with a testimonial soul that both teaches and reminds listeners they are not alone all makes Bradd Marquis this generation’s Everyman’s Soul Man.
