Marcus Heier is a composer and drummer based in London. In the last decade his experience and expertise have brought him to Los Angeles, London, Beijing, Abu Dhabi, Seoul and many more. Marcus is now establishing himself as a composer and performer in the Jazz scene through his new project “Heier Frequencies”. The project combines many of Marcus’s early influences that musically shaped him. From Bach to Meshuggah to Loscil, Marcus’s music creates something completely new and unique that goes beyond styles and genres.
Originally from Sweden, Marcus left home to study at Musicians institute in Los Angeles where he also started to study piano and composition. Outside of school he also freelanced in the jazz and pop scene which created connections that would eventually bring him to Asia. While in Asia Marcus did over 500 gigs over a two year period, and he gained experience in the more commercial side of music, which he has put to use in London.
2019 is the year Marcus will finish his Masters Degree at the Royal Academy of Music. “It feels great to have been a part of one of the worlds leading institutions that keeps pushing Jazz forward, and to help shape both the industry and the community”. The compositional side of this course has been an excellent complement to Marcus’s already well versed and experienced background.
