Drawing on his Aboriginal and South Sea Islander roots, Marcus Corowa combines elements of blues, jazz and funk to create a soulful, soothing sound that is distinctly his own.

Growing up in Bowen, a small coastal town in Queensland, Marcus’ earliest childhood memories are of eating mangoes and playing guitar. He moved from Bowen to Brisbane with his family in his teens, and after finishing high school, got a job sorting mail at Australia Post. However, it wasn’t long before Marcus decided to swap stamps for amps, and in late 2009 he decided to pursue a career in music.
