With his linear Funk style, expertise in electronics and unpredictable experimental nature, Marcel is no stranger to genre-bending and pushing the boundaries of music as we know it. Marcel released his solo debut album, JOIN THE CLUB, in December 2013 to critical acclaim. His upcoming follow-up effort, STARS LOVE THAT COOL LIFE, releases in 2014. Because his mastery of the instrument, Marcel was the first Lebanese drummer that hosted a drum clinic in his home town in May 6 2017“.
