UK-based producer and engineer who, since the early ’80s, has worked at various London studios such as [l268342], [l271743], and [l87246].
Fernandes grew up in humble surroundings in an environment rich in pop memorabilia, working with such diverse artists as
Pink Floyd,
Steel Pulse, and
Van Morrison. Then came a partnership with US rap exponent
Dwayne Harris on the East Coast as he cut his teeth in the hip hop world as part of the production company
Nu-Funk, working with the likes of
Hank Shocklee,
MC Lyte,
Jocelyn Brown, and many others. Upon returning to the UK, this sound became much in demand as a shift in sonics towards R&B and hip hop became the norm. To this day, Marcellus continues to be an exponent of experimental techniques and cutting-edge music with a thirst for the new and exciting. Notable artists in which he has worked with include Hinda Hicks,
E-17,
Sérgio Mendes,
Black Eyed Peas,

All Saints, Sinéad O’Connor,
Incognito,
Pat Metheny,
