On today’s episode, I interview band leader, arranger, and drummer, Marcus Myers. Since 2011, Marcus has been an in demand drummer for jazz artists such as Gerald Veasley, Laurin Talese, and Kirk Whalum. Additionally, Marcus has also performed for renowned Christian Hip-Hop artist, Sho Baraka. If that wasn’t impressive enough, Marcus is also the founder and leader of his own band called Ode to Omni. A collective of artists and musicians, Ode to Omni was birthed during a pivotal time in Marcus’ life. An injury which, prevented Marcus from playing music for some time, gave way to thoughts, inspirations, and compositions which led to the bands creation. Hang with us as we delve more into OTO’s origins. I also chat with Marcus on how’s he’s been coping as a fellow creative and father during the COVID-19 pandemic. We also discuss how high expectations can be detrimental to ones life and creativity. Now, without further to do, let’s get to the conversation!
