'A new vocal sensation in the UK' – JazzFM
‘A singing superstar in the making’ Jazzwise
Marvin Muoneké has been dubbed 'The Young Man with The Old Soul’, and once you hear his voice and style, you'll understand why. With a rich, velvety voice that’s been likened to Nat 'King' Cole, Johnny Hartman, Paul Robeson and Billy Eckstine, Marvin is also a gifted songwriter, arranger and trumpet player. He has a deep understanding of the Great American Songbook and an instant rapport with audiences.
He has toured with the award-winning swing band, Down For The Count and sung with the Vince Dunn Orchestra and NYJO (the National Youth Jazz Orchestra). In January 2024, Marvin also performed several times with the Armenian National Philharmonic Orchestra at the Aram Khachaturian Concert Hall in Yerevan.
He is now working in London with pianist/arranger Alex Webb, with whom he released the digital single, ‘Forbidden Fruit’, playlisted by JazzFM and played on BBC Radio London. Their latest single, 'Angel', came out at the end of March and was also playlisted by JazzFM. With recent London appearances with major jazz names including Denys Baptiste, Mark Lockheart and Gary Crosby as well as Webb, Marvin is a name to watch.
