Michael Marquez
Michael Marquez was born &
raised in Toronto. His hard hitting, thundering
drum style caught the attention of his high school
friend Joseph Cumbo who witnessed Michael performing
in his first band Aftermath. Joseph later joined
Aftermath and a great friendship was started.
Michael went on to play in many bands along the
way until one day he reunited with Joseph. They
recruited Lawrence Falcomer to play guitar and
formed a successful local band called L.A. The
seeds were then planted, as L.A. would eventually
evolve into Zara White and now Sonic X. Michael
has played with some of the best musical talents
in Canada through the years including members
of; The Dice, Alana Myles, Blushing Brides, Midnight
Ramblers, Carpet Frogs, The Jitters, The Swag,
members of Goddo and the one and only Pop Cherry
just to mention a few. Michael's journey as a
drummer & musician has also led him to song
writing and arranging. His true passion is music
and art. Every beat counts!
