Bio some details


My first Artwork :-)
Hi, I am Marc Bentel from Johannesburg, South Africa.

​ From a very young age, my interest in music and art was evident.

​ I originally wanted to draw and had an immense affinity for characters like "Tintin" and "Asterix"

​ but that was replaced early by the love of sound!

​ I discovered I had a good ear for music and quickly put that skill into piano and guitar. I formed my first School Band at the age of 13.
