Marcus Howard is a guitarist and multi-instrumentalist from Adelaide, South Australia. Marcus began his musical journey on the drums at the age of three but fell in love with music at age 12 when he received his first electric guitar. In 2022 Marcus decided to switch his guitar focus from mainly a blues rock influence to that of the classical guitar. Through studying under Caleb Lavery-Brook for barely 3 months, Marcus managed to translate his electric guitar skills to the classical guitar enough to secure a place at the Elder Conservatorium of Music in 2023.

Since then, Marcus has had many musical endeavors, most notably his runner up placement in the 2025 Elder Conservatorium “Top Class” Concert. Marcus has also stayed true to his electric guitar roots, being a frequently hired electric and bass guitarist around Adelaide in the last few years. Marcus works as a guitar teacher during the week at multiple schools and privately, with a strong passion for sharing his experience in a range of musical settings and genres with the youth.
