Marcus Jidell was born In Stockholm on September 11 th 1973. Raised
in a big family where everybody played music, it came natural for him to start playing an instrument himself, so he picked up the cello at the age of 8.
A bit later he was chosen to be a member of the Stockholm Opera children's choir as well. When Marcus was about 13 he fell in love with the sound of electric guitars -after listening to albums by Deep Purple, Led Zeppelin, Jimi Hendrix and Yngwie Malmsteen. 
Promptly he locked himself in the cellar in his parent's house during his entire teen years... to practice.  At the age of 19 he joined his first metal band “Jekyll & Hyde”, recorded three albums with them and did a long string of shows.
Since then he has been recording – touring with different artists, such as Bruce kulick (KISS), Meja, Curtis Knight and Kreegha, doing studio sessions and crafting his chops.
Marcus is a musician with a lot of different influences, because of that he has mastered styles like, hardrock, metal, blues, soul, rock, country, latin, swedish folk music and a lot moore.
In addition to guitar he also plays the piano, bass, mandolin, Banjo and a few other intruments when the urge comes around...
