A spellbinding musical voyage from Waxahachie to the World, Marc Ricks’ new album is one for the times
Waxahachie, Tx —Marc Ricks’ foray into the music industry is a tale of transformation and conviction. Growing up in a home where melodies were as much a part of life as faith, Marc’s love for music transcended genres, finding a special place for country music.
However, it was the realization that country music could push towards a faith-based model without losing its essence that sparked Marc’s artistic revolution. With a vision to create music that’s not only enjoyable but also imbued with the truth of the real Jesus, Marc embarked on a creative endeavor that led to the birth of his new 6-track album/ EP – “Showcase.”
This project, a labor of love and faith, encapsulates Marc’s journey from a “starving teacher” to a “starving artist,” armed with a newfound confidence in songwriting and production. The journey was not without its challenges, from overcoming the fear of writing melodies to navigating the complexities of music licensing.
Yet, with support from his family, anonymous benefactors, and a creative partnership with David Coughanour, Marc turned his what-ifs into reality. The result is a collection of songs and a “reimagined” track that bridges the gap between nostalgia and contemporary relevance, making his music accessible to today’s listeners.
Behind Marc Ricks’ music is a story of perseverance, faith, and the unyielding support of his family and community. From the early days of composing lyrics and chords to the intricate process of music production, Marc’s journey is underscored by the constant presence of his faith in Jesus Christ. It is this foundation that propels Marc forward, with a prayer that his music not only reaches the ears but also touches the hearts of listeners worldwide.
“Showcase,” spanning from the harmonies of Christian worship to the rhythms of country and the edges of alternative rock, is now available across major streaming platforms. With his original new release and the anticipation of new work on the horizon, Marc Ricks is poised to make a significant impact on the music scene.
The artist’s main goal is not just to share his music but to spread a message of faith, hope, and love, allowing listeners to enjoy the vibes of country music without reservation. As Marc continues to write and prepare for more musical releases, his vision remains clear: to glorify the Lord through his music and to keep the message of faith at the forefront of his artistic expression!
