Step by step, Marcus enhances his career even further in the music industry by becoming more versatile as an artist. Marcus attended London College of Music studying BA Music Technology, which has enhanced his knowledge in music production with mixing and mastering. 

Marcus is known for making experimental soul music blending hip-hop & R’n’B and soul, creating an ambient and calm sound for his audience.

After being recognised from a previous cover of remixing the The Weeknd’s Often, Marcus has a fan base keeping track of his progress. Short term goal, Marcus aspires to be a teacher at a secondary school/college teaching his knowledge to the young generation and watching them grow into what he is today and long term goals, he plans to open up a studio space and generate an income with getting clients into the studio to rehearse, record and anything relevant to music production or performance.

This helped him to understand and appreciate other genres of music more and inspire his taste for new sounds. 

Amongst others, Pioneer was responsible for bringing a new genre to the streets in 2006. UK Funky was emerging, influenced by the Soulful, Funky House and broken beats that Pioneer was playing at the time.

In 2009, Ministry of Sound released the compilation ‘The Sound of UK Funky’ mixed by DJ Pioneer. Pioneer featured tracks from Robin S, Ultra Nate, Crazy Cousinz and more.

In 2010, Pioneer began producing and made his debut with a Funky House track titled ‘Stronger’ featuring Egypt which received great support from the underground, mainstream radio and Sky TV and was also performed at the London Fashion Week.  

Pioneer is now into his 7th year on the UK’s leading dance radio station, Kiss FM.
