***Captn Marco*** (real name: **Marcus Perez**, also referred to as **The Perezident** and **Marco AP**) is an Owosso native rapper who has released one full length album entitled *Odin* (2015).

## History

### As The Perezident and GLFC (2011-2013)

Perez met Miles Winchester in high school and worked with him on developing instrumental beats. Eventually this led to Winchester asking Perez to help him out with his senior project. This project eventually became the album *Woods* by Great Lakes Feather Company, where Perez was featured on two of the ending tracks, "Scrambled Eggs" and "Woods".

Perez was also featured in the Scrambled Eggs music video, appearing in different locations throughout Owosso.

Perez had a large part in the making of the Great Lakes Feather Company album *Pluto*, appearing on four songs on the album, "Female", "Butterface", "Catharsis", and "Neptune".

Perez's final appearance on a GLFC project was on the EP *Atlantis*. He rapped on only one, and the final song, "Laugh".

During Perez's time with GLFC he appeared in many live performances including *Clearingfest, Kenfest*, and *Whitley Benefit Concert*.

### Name change to Captn Marco and joining 9eight9 Entertainment (2013-present)

Perez began working heavily with Brotha Luke in order to create his first solo album. The duo helped create 9eight9 entertainment, an Owosso collective that comprises of Brotha Luke, Captn Marco, singer-songwriter Trevor James, and filmmaker Montana Martin. In January 2015 Captn Marco released his first "ABC" and then n March 20, 2015 he released his second single in promotion of *Odin* entitled, "Crazy".

Eventually *Odin* was released on October 21, 2015. *Odin* was promoted with a highly anticipated release party that had a lineup of Young Linners, Randie Strouse, Hailey Wojcik, and Great Lakes Feather Company. With an estimated 300 people attending the event, it is possibly the county's largest underground show of all time.
