Marcus Whale
Meet Marcus, Sound System Mentor at LOST IN BOOKS.
Marcus Whale is a musician, singer and composer from Sydney who performs under his own name as well as various acclaimed groups. He studied composition at Sydney Conservatorium of Music and his work spans many genres and artforms.
He is well-known for his theatrical performance-pieces in which he interrogates and explores sexual, cultural and religious identities. Most recently, he has performed in works at Liveworks Festival, Underbelly Arts Festival 2017.
“Marcus Whale has long been one of Australia’s most talented and forward thinking songwriters. Through his work in Black Vanilla, Collarbones, Scissor Lock and Tennis Boys, he’s pushed a music that is challenging and chromatic...his debut solo album ‘Inland Sea’ is a brooding reflection on sexual identity and colonial dispossession, seen through the lens of Australian history.” - Vice Magazine 2016
