1. Marksman - Australian hip hop artist It was at 8 years of age that Mark Marksman Lloyd wrote his first song. It was a little ditty called “You gotta believe in yourself”. It would seem that he took his own advice. Marksman started rhyming at 13. At this age he made his first recorded song over a beat on the Deathrow Records website which he recorded onto a cassette tape. His Mum loved it. His first performance was freestyling in front of breakdancers at a hip hop workshop he attended at 15. At 17 he had the opportunity to play a string of shows in Singapore off the back of 10 unreleased demo tracks and at 19 he flew to Ohio in the U.S, where he rocked topic freestyles in inner city schools and played shows as a part of I.W.T (Impact world tour). Marksman’s accolades include the time he spent in his formative years as a battle MC winning the Scribble Jam battle in WA. He has also faired well on the spoken word poetry circuit, coming runner-up in the Australian Poetry Slam at the Opera House in 2008 and going back as a national finalist in 2009. As of late he has been performing his music and doing spoken word shows throughout WA, establishing a name for himself in both scenes through these performances as well as releasing substantial amounts of material via youtube and social networking sites. http://marksmanlloyd.bandcamp.com 2.
