He is a songwriter and keyboardist born in England,
with his father being a conductor and his mother a cellist. He studied at Dartington High
School and the Royal College of Music in London and he was so set on being
a professional musician he would ring record companies when he was only
around eleven years old and try and sell himself. After finishing
his education he formed a jazz band that released the album Quincicasm,
but disillusioned with the jazz scene in Britain he turned to song writing. He teamed up with the
singer-songwriter Kit Hain, who he had known since his school days, when
she finished university and together they became the duo Marshall,
Hain. Seeing chart success
with their "Dancing in the City" they released the further single "Coming
Home" and the album Free Ride but the latter two did not reach the
heights that were hoped for.
The duo split up in 1980 and Kit Hain would soon emigrate to the
United States to pursue her solo career. Alongside Marshall, Hain he was in the group Flying
Lizards when they had the 1979 hit "Money (That's What I Want)" and later
the duo Eye to Eye with Deborah Berg.
