Markus Christoph

With a world-influenced diversity, and a deep implanted classical roots anchor, Markus Christoph presents a mysterious uniqueness for the listener, blending old methods with new styles, and stretching the bounds of the emotional spectrum. With piano at 7, trumpet at 9, and guitar at 12, he seemed destined to rest his bones in the aural fields and harvest his creativity from its tonal curiosity.

Christoph's blue jazz, classic prog-rock leaves a refreshing vibe in a world where genre lines have quickly lost their place-markers. An abundant passion for dynamic classicism often finds its way into his tracks, resulting in an opus of orchestral flavor.

He has performed steadily with several Philadelphia area bands, as well as solo, continues crafting his original songwriting and records daily in his home studio. A solo performance chills out on a jazz and blues-striped couch, accented with mysterious progressive pillows, and draped in a smoothy-soft vocal blanket. Although the guitar is his instrument of choice, don't be surprised to find him propped behind a piano slowing it down a bit.

The 2006 release of his conceptual EP, A New Day, introduced the world to a visionary legacy in the making. 2007 marked a year of recording with a "sampler" EP cd released in November. As for 2008, he is currently wrapping up another EP, "Sing & Dance", and completing work on a full-length concept album that is still untitled.
