Written by Detroit based full time musician, singer/songwriter, entertainer. Piano/Keyboards/Vocals.
No, he wasn’t born and raised in South Detroit, but the native Canadian did start working in Windsor, Ontario in 1999 before moving to Detroit in 2001 to continue his music career. Marc Dorian is a keyboardist, singer, and songwriter who has always known he wanted to be a musician.
Raised in a tight knit family from Nova Scotia, Dorian started piano lessons when he was 10 years old and just kept going from there.
He honed his crowd skills between 1999-2012 working as part of a dueling piano outfit, traveling from coast to coast across the United States. Performing comes naturally to the friendly musician and audiences remember his engaging smile and banter nearly as much as his skill on the keys.
He has toured with country artists and played corporate events supporting national recording artists such as Sheryl Crow, Peter Frampton, Foreigner, and Huey Lewis & The News at venues ranging from the North American International Auto Show to Super Bowl XLVI.
Dorian currently earns his living by playing keys and singing at well over 100 shows per year with the high-profile tribute band Your Generation In Concert. Despite the fact Dorian has the musical equivalent of a full-time job, doesn’t mean there isn’t room to be Marc Dorian the solo artist, however. “I follow all kinds of music and I have to, for my job, remain current on the pop world and everything but when I write… it tends to come out as country rock.”
His latest original release, “She’s Mine All Mine” was recorded in Nashville with some of the industry’s top musicians. The uptempo love song has a pop country flavor to it drawing comparisons in sound to Keith Urban but with a little more piano than guitar. Dorian has been doing some songwriting and press events in the Detroit area to promote it.
“I’m trying to keep moving forward in the music biz and being thankful for the opportunities that come my way.”
