My Story

Hey, I'm Marshall!

Born on the Sunshine Coast, I actually spent my early years in India with my parents Gavin & Kellie working as professional musos. Surrounded by music from day 1, I'd watch performers from all walks of life and think: 'That looks so cool. I want to be them one day.'

School wasn't my thing - square peg, round hole situation. Everything changed when I attended Music Industry College though! Finally being around other creative people like me and discovering artists like Lawrence really crystallized what I wanted to do with music.

As you probably know, I won the 2025 edition of Australian Idol, which has been an incredible ride. My musical compass is simple: it has to groove, and it has to have soul. Preferably both!

New Single: "Thought of You!"

I wrote my debut single about those moments when someone special can shift your mood just by crossing your mind. "Thought of You!" is a feel-good burst of retro pop with yacht-rock polish, pop-soul power, and that irresistible groove I love.

Thanks for being curious enough to get this far - this is really just the beginning.
Hope to see you at a gig soon!
