Marc E. Bassy in Concert
Marc E. Bassy makes it look easy, exuding a style and smoothness that seems to come right out of his core—part of it probably due to his California roots. Born in 1987 in San Francisco, Bassy grew up around music, as his mother rented living quarters from Tracy Chapman ("Give Me One Reason," "Fast Car"); after high school, he went to study music at UC Santa Cruz, dropping out after two years to pursue a career. Bassy then moved to Los Angeles and started 2AM Club, a dance-pop group. After recording demos with Jerry Harrison (Talking Heads, The Modern Lovers), 2AM Club signed to RCA and released ‘What Did You Think Was Going to Happen?,' an impressive debut full of slick, driving beats and soulful club vibes. The album reached No. 4 on Billboard's Top 50 Heatseekers chart and peaked at No. 138 on the U.S. Billboard 200, giving Bassy a springboard from which to move forward. Unfortunately, 2AM Club fizzled out, so Bassy went off on his own, releasing a few mixtapes as a solo artist, including the bedroom R&B-flavored ‘Only the Poets Mixtape, Vol. 1,' which featured the easy-riding "Lock It Up (feat. Kehlani)."
Bassy's major break—if working with Jerry Harrison wasn't already a topper—came with the ‘Groovy People' EP he released in 2016, which featured the blockbuster single "You & Me (feat. G-Eazy)." The chill, reggae-tinted track charted at No. 32 on the U.S. Mainstream Top 40 and went Platinum—a remarkable feat for a mixtape from a solo artist without a full studio album to his name. That would change, though, with 2017's ‘Gossip Columns,' which he recorded for Republic in 2017. It peaked at 166 on the U.S. Billboard 200 chart, cementing Bassy as one of his generation's most exciting—and most talented—prospects. In addition to his own work, the musician has amassed an impressive number of writing and feature credits linked to musicians such as Gucci Mane, CeeLo Green, Sean Kingston, Wiz Khalifa, and Ty Dolla $ign.?
Marc E. Bassy is supporting Kyle on Kyle: The Lightspeed Tour, which runs across the U.S. through mid-November.?
Had the absolute best time. Marc E Bassy is one of the most incredible artists on this earth.
This was my first concert that I went to solo and I gotta say I had a lot of fun. Planning to go to the Berkeley show as we speak
I can't take anyone who stops singing to have a silent crowd not sing the music they don't know, even more. And that was this event: talent all across the board, but the vibe of an artist who was disappointed in the crowd turnout couldn't be ignored. The encore, that led to waiting 10min for an artist who isn't a medical expert, to check on someone who was being checked on by staff, when you're literally at the final stretch of the show, was so unmotivating that I left. I'd rather leave early and beat the crowd than wait for who knows how long for an encore that the artist clearly didn't want to perform. Great music. Great talent. But stage presence and performance need some work.
Ahhh was such a good show!! He is BETTER in person than his produced music, no joke. He is so talented. Voice of an angel ??????. He played piano and guitar, and just sang and vibed w the crowed, it was awesome. The doors opened at 7pm, and he came on at 9:40pm. I didn’t care about openers, so I showed up around 9pm lol but yeah he was awesome! Seriously voice of an angel, pure talent. Such a great performer! I hope he comes back go Sacramento soon!!??????
Obsessed with him, will never miss a show near his hometown ever!!!
He sang for about 90 mins and it was great! He sounds good live which is rare for artists. Def worth it!
From the start everything was smoothly running and really fun. Upgrading to VIP was super easy. There was 3 warm up bands who all amazing. Marc literally blew the roof off the house. I would definitely see him again.
Most of the time we couldn't even hear the artist's vocals. The instruments were set to be way louder than anything. Been happening a lot at this venue in particular.
Marce was a great show. The venue itself was on point with lighting and effects. Marce totally knew how to own the stage. Even the openers had a great stage presence. Would go again!
Marc did very well, but I was introduced to the artist who sings If we never met. I never knew it was John K until this show. My mom and I LOVE that song!!!!! I immediately followed him on his @JohnKmusic Instagram
