“I remember listening to your songs [live], and I was like, 'Oh so Marcus is a storyteller,' and I found your stories to be interesting, and I was like, 'This is stuff you can't make up,' and my mind kept going, it was like it opened up once I started listening to your lyrics. I could picture everything, and that's the deal, that's the art of songwriting, if you can make people feel what you feel and if you can take them to that place you were in.” - Jeri James
