What started as a curious rummage through his father’s records of Earth Wind and Fire, Stevie Wonder, Anita Baker, Boney James, Kirk Whalum and Grover Washington, birthed the void of a sound that only Marquis Hare could fill. Introduced to music at the young age of five, Marquis digested the sounds of Jazz, Blues and R&B, until he discovered the one sound that wasn’t enough just to consume; he had to contribute to its legacy….the voice of the saxophone. Six years later from the discovery of his purpose, Marquis began his journey to master this beautiful instrument of love. From the first wind blown into an alto sax, to the continuing breath of brilliance heard through the soprano, Marquis has truly become the sound of necessity to all who hears.
