He quickly rose to prominence in the Memphis music scene playing with the top musicians and artists in the region.
In 2009, following the success of his national television platform on MTV’s ’Making His Band,’ he relocated again to Los Angeles, continuing his career as an A-list sideman, and is currently among the most visible figures in L.A.’s R&B, Rock, Hip Hop, and Gospel communities.

Dean Markley has my back. That’s the long and the short of it. They are some of the highest quality and most dependable strings that I’ve ever played. I’m proud to represent this fine company.
