**Marcus Machado** is a guitar prodigy whose fearless blend of rock, funk, soul, jazz, hip-hop, and psychedelia has captivated audiences worldwide. Beginning guitar at just two years old, Machado has quickly risen as a groundbreaking artist, earning *Rolling Stone*’s “Next Young Gun” recognition and praise from *Guitar World* and *Guitar Player* for pushing the boundaries of modern guitar. His debut solo album, *Aquarius Purple*, established his voice as both virtuosic and deeply expressive, while his latest release, *Blue Diamonds*, expands his sonic palette into electrifying new territories. Machado has shared stages and collaborated with Daniel Caesar, Pharoahe Monch, Pete Rock, Jon Batiste, Chris Botti, and Jose James, performing across the U.S., Europe, Asia, and Australia, including sold-out residencies in NYC and London, and high-profile festivals like Outside Lands and Winter Jazz Fest. From intimate jazz clubs to Madison Square Garden, his performances are celebrated for their emotional depth, technical mastery, and genre-defying energy. Whether on stage or in the studio, Machado continues to redefine what guitar-driven music can be, leaving a lasting mark on the contemporary musical landscape.
