Piano

He first took piano lessons dating back since he was 5 in Canada and continued practicing until he was 11 in the US where he eventually gave piano up since he was not really trying hard. He was able to play a few small numbers but that was it.

Guitar

Marlon continued with his singing and in October of 2002, he picked up a guitar his dad borrowed from a friend and asked his dad to teach him how to play. By the next day, he was able to play and sing "Happy Birthday". By the time he knew he could really play, he started getting small guitar lessons from his dad.

He now continues using his guitar for gigs at Milpitas High School and small performances in his school choir class at MHS.
