Marc Antoine

Guitarist, composer and producer, Marc Antoine, was born in Paris (France) on the 28th of May 1963. His parents bought him his first guitar when he was 11 years old which quickly became his third arm. Marc has had a guitar in his hands ever since. At age 13, his father saw such rapid progress that he sent him to the conservatory where he would study classical music. By then his mentors were Andres Segovia and John Williams.

At the same time he was playing in local bands in Britany (France). Tragedy struck in the summer of 1981 when his debut career got cut short by a devastating accident to his left hand
