Whenever I think of Marc Martel, co-lead vocalist for Downhere (another of my favorite bands) I think Freddie Mercury or Kevin Max. Marc’s got this wildly cool and unusual voice, much like both of those singers..But as you can see in the video above, he’s a student of many styles of music, and his latest interest is opera. This video shows Marc explaining how he learned to sing, and then performing an operatic aria, Nessun Dorma. I always knew Marc was talented, but this just confirms it.You can learn more about Downhere on the band’s website.Click here to subscribe to Gospel Soundcheck by email and have the Gospel Soundcheck headlines delivered daily to your email inbox.
