Marlon C.

Born in Richmond, Va, Marlon Cox grew up surrounded by music. At the age of 8, he began playing drums for his mother and aunts gospel group, The Henley Sisters. Around the same time, he and his cousin Michael Archer, would also perform in their grandfathers church. Soon the young cousins took their skills outside the church and formed their own Pop/Hip-Hop band, Precise. The two performed and won several local talent shows.
Marlon went on to become the ½ lyrical force and producer for the underground Hip-Hop group, Dirty Soulz. Although Dirty Soulz did not gain stardom being signed under the fledgling label D-Lo Productions, the group did gain notoriety and a strong buzz in the Richmond area.
Marlon made his production debut on a collaboration with Angie Stone and Terry Ellis on Call On Me, for the HBO movie Disappearing Act. He furthered his portfolio along with Michael Archer (aka DAngelo) by co-producing and co-writing, Talk Shit to Ya, for the John Singletons BabyBoy soundtrack. After sharpening his teeth on these projects, Marlon went on a musical sojourn where he began to incorporate his Blues/Soul/Gospel influences as he made the transition from Hip-Hopper to a vocalist. Creating his independent label, DeepNSoul, he produced its first record, The Henley Sisters, Hes Been So Good.
Marlon has since worked on projects with Raphael Saadiq, leading to production work on Jois album, Tennessee Slim Is the Bomb, while touring the Mid-Atlantic to promote the songs that would be featured on his debut album, Aint That the Truth. Marlon C still performs with Henley Sisters and will soon begin production on their second album as well as Dirty Soulz.
