My name is Marc Sven Wilson and I am the guitarist for the Tonepoets. Music is my greatest passion and I have been writing songs since the moment I first picked up a guitar in 1995!! My early influences came from the rock scene bands like Guns n Roses and Iron Maiden, but my musical upbringing was focused around listening to melodic music by bands such as the Beatles, Dire Straights, Simon and Garfunkle, Meatloaf and Chris Rea. I grew up being heavily influenced by music from the American grunge scene, i.e. Nirvana, The Smashing Pumpkins, Soundgarden, Soul Asylum, The Pixies and many more. I love music that has melody and substance, music that is real and written by the artist. I don’t really get this pop scene, it is false, so I generally tend to stay away from the unreal elements that kinda music portrays!! I am a passionate person, honest and loyal. I will always do my best to help people. I am creative and to the point and I love to socialise and meet new people, usually at a party, where ever it may be!! I am chilled out but will not tolerate liars or people who are generally here to waste my time. I like people to be straight talking and genuine, oh and I love my guitar, nuff said. Here’s to the Tonepoets and the magical mystery that awaits us!!
