"Back To The Lone Star Grind"-Marcus Mud & Quaide

[Quaide]

Under the tutelage of his great grandmother Quaide began singing in the church choir and acting in plays at St. James AME in Camden, ARwhile in junior high. His great grandmother bought a used piano for him to learn on while learning how to play the blues on guitar. Playing the guitar began to over shadow the piano due to his listening to songs by Jimi Hendrix and Prince.

In high school sports took priority but the desire was still their to record and make music. After college he hooked up with his partner Keith Cole to form the group The Versal Clique and release an 18 track CD titled “Ways Of The World”. Mostly hip-hop he would still play and practice on the guitar everyday.

Although the album had great potential, without proper marketing and promotion the album went unnoticed on a global scale. Quaide then  teamed up with Marcus Mud and they started recording various tracks.

Acquiring equipment for his mini studio and learning his way around the keyboard he began entering talent shows .
