"The big man with a big voice and a bigger heart."
This is one of the best ways to describe Marrque Nunley. With a voice straight out of the school of Chuck D and KRS-ONE and the lyrical dexterity of Pharoahe Monch and Common, Marrque has established a unique and heavily influential presence in the world of hip hop and poetry in his home of Wichita, KS.
Marrque is often described as relentlessly positive and this attribute informs his highly conceptual and broadly creative approach to music. Even his explorations of darker subject matters such as depression, existentialism, guilt and societal struggle are delivered as points of inspiration and understanding. One of the fundamental tenants of Marrque's work is his ability to express concepts and viewpoints that challenge listeners' perspectives while giving voice to alternative experiences, particularly with regards to culture and society.
The award-winning MC has been performing professionally for twenty years on a wide variety of stages and now he is ready to build his epic style of hip hop in the city of Los Angeles. Marrque infuses a rich background of percussion, theater and choral performance into his musical performances, inspiring the full range of human emotion from audiences that witness him. He has always been a staunch proponent of artistic expression and encourages anyone that is brave enough to get behind the microphone and speak their truth. Art is our greatest way to capture and relate the human experience and at the end of the day, that's what it's all about: being human.
