KINT
Marc
Mays,
A.K.A.
Marcus
Orealius,
started
out
on
the
same
path
as
many
of
the
other
artist’s
in
his
family
by
singing
in
his
local
church
choir.
There
was
always
a
piano
or
keyboard
around
to
‘goof
on’
and
at
an
early
age,
he
began
to
hear
and
learn
about
harmonies
and
how
they
worked
in
relation
to
singing.
He
watched
and
listened
to
the
voices
and
the
piano,
and
began
to
develop
his
talent
early
on.
Marc’s
mother
played
an
integral
part
in
his
musical
upbringing
by
supporting
his
wishes
to
play
to
the
guitar
and
even
supported
his
decision
to
quit
school
to
pursue
performing
on a
more
professional
level.
His
early
experiences
led
him
toward
a
rouge
scholar
lifestyle
where
he
learned
by
‘doing’.
He
spent
many
years
working
jobs
that
would
allow
him
the
precious
time
needed
to
foster
his
music
discipline.
Marc
has
‘come
up’
through
the
clubs
performing
from
Michigan
to
Texas
and
Florida
to
New
York.
He
has
successfully
co-financed
and
promoted
over
40,000
miles
worth
of
touring
and
nearly
300
dates
in
the
span
of
only
one
year!
As a
touring
musician,
Marc
has
earned
endless
“flight
miles”
in
stage
experience
and
has
made
a
solid
impact
when
he
has
traveled.
His
long
road
and
diverse
experiences
have
allowed
Marc
the
opportunity
to
work
with
a
wide
range
of
other
professionals
including,
but
not
limited
to,
Bad
religion,
Garbage,
Blue
Oyster
Cult,
and
Godsmack
with
a
final
culmination
toward
his
groundbreaking
venture
with
Robert
Reives
and
SGM.
“I
feel
we’ve
created
a
new
breed
and
style
of
music
and
songwriting
that
is
yet
to
be
heard,
but
is
being
embraced
by a
world-wide
demographic.
The
A.M.,
radio-like
melodies
I’ve
had
burning
in
my
head
are
at
home
laced
over
a
new
generation
of
cool
beats”,
explains
Marc.
While
many
people
call
music
entertainment,
Mays
considers
it
his
existence,
and
the
only
really
reason
he
is
‘allowed
to
be’.
Marc
explains,
“I
need
melodies
the
way
we
must
breathe.
Sometimes
we’re
gasping
and
other
times
a
good
slow,
deep
lungful
brings
good
health.
My
songs
are
the
stories
of
my
life,
some
facts
and
some
fictions
or
metaphors.”
Mays
is a
true
musician
who
makes
music
for
the
people
out
of
love,
loss,
giving,
and
taking.
He
is
always
on a
path
toward
a
newfound
strength
and
respect
for
his
art
and
finds
that
everything
he
is
exists
somewhere
in
his
songs.
And…and
he
states,
“It
is
my
blessing
to
share
them
in
God’s
love.”
