Marcell & The Truth

Marcell & the Truth was founded in 1997 after Marcell Russell joined a funk-rock band started by William Bagwell, aka, “Bags”.  Bags ended the band shortly after Marcell joined, but felt Marcell had tons of potential, vocally and lyrically. Bags told Marcell that he had the chance to be the next “legend” in music. Bags would inspire Marcell to start his own band. Marcell saw the challenges of building a band after a few months and quit. But, the music kept calling him and he couldn’t stay away. He called Bags back up and asked if they could restart the band. Bags challenged Marcell for quitting the first time and Marcell swore he would never quit again. And there begins the recruiting, training, and developing the sound of M&TT for the next 4-5 years. Bags & Marcell didn’t get super far with their songs until Marcell ran into Charles Bennett & Gerald Richardson, September 1999, in the cafeteria of Morgan State University.

M&TT looks forward to one day signing a deal that will work for everyone. “There are some great labels that really work hard for their artists out there. We are waiting for it to be a clear fit which one is for us. This business is difficult on your own but we won’t cheat our fans with lazy music. We know it’s a matter of time”, Marcell.
