Newcomer to the Trinidad and Tobago reggae scene, Aaron

Marquez is fast becoming a force- this as his name is aligned with big concert events featuring world-renowned

reggae acts. Marquez will open for the Marley Brothers at the Hasley Crawford Stadium on August 30 in the much

publicised and anticipated, House of Marley concert event. His appearance will come on the heels of Reggae on

the Bay, which was held on Father's Day in Trinidad. He had performed alongside other major local reggae acts like

Marlon Asher, Jamelody and others, thoroughly entertaining patrons before Steel Pulse and Barrington Levy took

the stage.

Marquez's name first started popping up when he unleashed a single called, That Smell on PengCo Music's Kush

riddim. His track was described by many in the music industry as a well-executed single with strong lyrics and good

vocals. The Kush riddim video medley, which featured Marquez's single, was rotated well on T&T's Synergy TV

and CaribVision. In Barbados where fellow artiste on the riddim, ViZion was booked to perform his single on the

riddim along with other tracks at the Digicel Barbados Reggae Festival held in April, radio stations showed a lot of

love to both Marquez's, That Smell and ViZion's HiGrade.

Now, with a lot happening in the entertainment arena, Marquez is holding his own and together with PengCo

Music's Randal Alexander, to which he became aligned in November 2011, he is building his image and brand.

Aaron Marquez has a strong underground following and with that support he continues to receive, the young

entertainer says he will continue to deliver strong reggae messages, some with a personal twist and others on the

inspirational side. He is currently working on two reggae singles. The young artiste is also preparing to lay vocals

on a few international reggae riddims, which will feature big acts such as Sizzla Kolonji and Taurus Riley out of

Jamaica.

In Trinidad, a trip to the Western side of the island could render fans of the budding reggae artiste, speechless as

he's currently the first reggae act out of T&T who's face has made it to an electronic promotional billboard- a great

feat says PengCo's Alexander. " This is really good. We've been working hard to get him the exposure he deserves

so seeing this happen is definitely a blessing and proof that putting in the hours, does in fact work out well," said

Alexander.

Anticipating his performance at The House of Marley on the night before Independence Day in Trinidad, Marquez

is in preparation mode, getting set to deliver what he promises will be a memorable stage show, for his supporters

and certainly those who will experience his live show for the very first time.
