His journey continued at Berklee College of Music, where he studied under the guidance of esteemed mentors such as Marshall Gilkes, Tia Fuller, Victor Wooten, and Terrance Blanchard. During his time at Berklee, Marcus began exploring online content creation, gaining traction with his covers of hip-hop songs and garnering praise from notable artists like Snoop Dogg, Big Sean, Masego, Russ, and Joyner Lucas.

In 2021, Marcus's visibility surged when he was featured in a TikTok campaign by Disney to promote the movie Soul alongside Grammy Award-winning artist Jon Batiste. The following year, he made headlines performing at notable events such as the Boston Blooms Block Party and providing stirring renditions of the National Anthem at high-profile sporting events like the WNBA Semi Finals and the Basketball Hall of Fame Championship games.
