MODSOUL

Detroit native MODSOUL real name Marcus Whitted began discovering and experimenting with electronic music when listening to Sony Playstation game soundtracks. Marcus’ first inspirations were from bands like, Prodigy, Chemical Brothers, and The Crystal Method, for Marcus they started it all. At age 13, Marcus started getting curious with instruments and keyboards. With his eye set on the Yamaha DJX keyboard, he dreamed of owning it and making music. Though he never got his keyboard, his dream never faded. Several years later Marcus was introduced to computer-based music production. Marcus soon found himself fascinated with the ability to combine and layer sounds to create something new.

For the next few years Marcus continued to create music and moved to Florida to attend college for professional recording and music business. Here, Marcus expanded his knowledge of music, recording, and DJing. This college experience was a game changer, from this point forward Marcus was more musically open and began creating on a new level and has not stopped since. Future steps for Marcus include pressing forward and making music a full-time career. His musical endeavours have paid off since with releases out on the esteemed DJ3000’s ‘Motech’ label and Amsterdam’s ‘Symmetric Recordings’ to name a few. Marcus continues to look forward to perfecting his craft, while collaborating with other artists and filling out a very passion filled, creative life.
