"Markkie" began studying different styles of music at a young age. As a producer/singer/songwriter, Markkie he brings his own definition to music.
At the age of 16, Markkie was forced to leave home with dream and the clothes on his back. This is where his journey began. The road to fulfill his dream has been one of many ups and downs. After finishing high school in South Carolina, Markkie enlisted in the United Stated Army as a Military Policeman. While stationed in Georgia he found himself surrounded by people with the same dream, and quickly befriended the artists in the local music community.
At 21, Markkie was on the Saturday Night Mix Tape with DJ Al Irvin.
This opportunity opened doors for a local television show with two friends called "Hot Spot" on a local NBC affiliate, which is where he received his first mixing credits. After the military, Markkie returned to South Carolina and still with music in his heart he became the host of a travelling trademarked karaoke show called "Afro-oke".
With the popularity of fro-oke”, Markkie encountered many aspiring artists and was able to offer his patrons celebrity guest appearances by "Juvenile", "Prophet Jones" and many more.
Soon the day would come that Markkie would hit the stage as an artist, what he always knew he was born to do. When he was approached by a member of a local group and asked to become the fourth member of the, then called, "Diamondz In Da Ruff" (later known as "Diamondz") he accepted.
While with Diamondz, Markkie traveled up and down the East Coast, opening for industry greats like "Anthony Hamilton", "Mario Winans", "The Nappy Roots", "Angie Stone" and The Legendary "Lattimore”.
Unfortunately, while talented, the group faltered from the many pressures of the music industry.
