Most recording artists are limited to one talent. Marcus Dyson is an artist who is a multi-talented young man with the ability to adapt to any genre and performance environment. He is an accomplished songwriter, producer, singer and radio announcer with credits above average.

He is a native of San Francisco, California, who has been singing since age 3 and playing piano since age 7. He began playing the organ, directing choirs and teaching songs at 12 years old. He served faithfully as Musician and Worship Leader at True Hope Church of God In Christ in San Francisco, California, for over 10 years. It was there at True Hope that the former youth choir called Exaltation was born. Under his leadership the choir participated in McDonalds Gospel Fest, Quaker Oats Competition and many souls won to Christ through several performances and concerts. For quite some time now Marcus has been the organist, pianist and soloist for several musicals, plays, live recordings and concerts of which some he has written songs for.

Having formal training at City College of San Francisco under the instruction and guidance of renowned opera singer, Dr. Helen Dilworth, co-produced and performed on two commercial drops for KMEL 106.1FM, a local radio station in San Francisco has also rounded out his abilities.

Not just a performer he is also a community worker sharing his gifts and talents with Mayor Willie Brown for his inauguration in San Francisco, The American Red Cross and the McDonalds Corporation. He currently works with the SF Arts Ed Project teaching music education and performance at Glen Park Elementary, Argonne Elementary, Robertson Intermediate, Bayshore Elementary and Visitacion Valley Elementary Schools.

Marcus has become a driving force in the body of Christ, for which he is making his mark through his music and ministry. He organized and produced his very own gospel concert, backed by a 100 voice youth mass choir, a 10 member ensemble and a full 5-piece band in which he performed for an audience of 400 supporters, friends and family. Several youth and young adults accepted and re-dedicated their lives to Christ that evening.

He embraces over a decade of experience in songwriting, producing, composing and arranging while his music continues to uplift, inspire and encourage every listening heart, mind and soul in concerts, workshops and performances. Currently Marcus is promoting his debut CD entitled "PIECES OF MY LIFE".He is also Youth Pastor for True Hope COGIC in San Francisco where Dr. A. Walker is Senior Pastor. He is most importantly a loving husband to Mrs. Karwanna Dyson and father of four beautiful children, three girls and one boy.
