Marc Marot Biography

Marc Marot is one of the most popular and richest Musical Artist who was born on May 5, 1959 in United Kingdom.

Whilst he was working five days per week at Our Price Records, he also worked voluntarily at independent music publisher Eaton Music on his day off. In 1982 Terry Oates, the owner of Eaton Music gave Marot his first major break by appointing him as Professional Manager at 22 years old. In 1984, Marot was headhunted by Nick Stewart, the Island Records head of A & R who was responsible for signing U2. Marot’s new position was general manager of Blue Mountain Music. In an interview with The Independent Marot described the amusing circumstances of his beginnings at Blue Mountain: “I immediately said: `Yes. It was Island and I desperately wanted to work for Island,’ says Marot who, with his brother, had been a collector of the label’s records for years. What he didn’t know was that Blue Mountain was also the personal company of Chris Blackwell, the place where he stashed all his favourite assets like Bob Marley’s catalogue, Free and U2.

The first of Marot’s signings was Colourbox, an English electronic musical group signed to the 4AD label. IN 1987 Colourbox joined forces with A.R. Kane and recorded Pump Up the Volume under the name M/A/R/R/S. The song was noted for being one of the first to be constructed almost entirely from samples from other records. Pump Up the Volume was Marot’s first international number 1 single, charting in the top position in 5 countries and in the top ten in a further 6. It went on to sell well over 1 million singles worldwide.
