Life and career

Marcus was born in Bataan, Philippines on August 31, 2009. In 2015, he competed in It's Showtimes children's segment "Mini Me", where he imitated American singer-songwriter Jon Bon Jovi.[1] He returned in the second season of the segment two years after as a Wildcard performer.[2]

20182020: Film and theatrical debuts

In 2018, Marcus made his film debut in Regal Films's My 2 Mommies, directed by Eric Quizon. He was cast in the role of Tristan, the son of Manu and Monique, who are portrayed by Paolo Ballesteros and Solenn Heussaff, respectively.[3] [4] His performance in the movie received a positive reception from critics; Joseph Atilano of the Philippine Daily Inquirer opined that he played the central part in the film, commenting that he was "the glue that held this movie together", and that he "carried himself throughout as if he was already a veteran of many movies".[5]

From 2018 through 2020, Marcus performed as young Simba as part of an Asian touring company of The Lion King musical.[6] In the same year, he joined Team Yey!, a Philippine children's television show created by Yey!, wherein he showcased his talent in music during the "Sound Check" segment.[7]

In 2022, Marcus participated in Dream Maker, a reality competition show broadcast on Kapamilya Channel and A2Z which determined the lineup of an upcoming boy band from a field of 62 contestants, to be jointly managed by ABS-CBN and MLD Entertainment. Among the contestants, Marcus was the youngest, at 13-years-old.[8] His performance on the pilot episode was praised; mentor Bae Yoon-jung commented: "At your age, I didn't expect that you are that good".[9]

Throughout the show, Marcus consistently performed well, staying within the top 7 after each round, allowing him to advance to the finals, where he placed second and made the lineup of Hori7on.[10] He debuted with the group as one of its vocalists on July 24, 2023,[11] with the release of their debut album, Friend-Ship, where he, and his co-members, served as writers to the fourth track, "Mama".[12]
