Marque Gilmore ‘the inna•most’, born in Cambridge Massachusetts, is critically acclaimed worldwide as a superbly innovative drummer/percussionist, future-music producer/composer and live music performance pioneer. For over 25 years Marque has been working globally as a professional musician, producer and cultural arts practitioner with his flagship music & multi-media performance project DRUM-FM - and from its inception in the early 90s, Marque literally pioneered a new musical sub-genre known as Live DRUM'n'BASS! Over the course of his global career, Marque has also shared his future-bound music & “Interactive Tribalistic” drumming with high-level pop, dance and Hip-Hop/R&B artists from STING to MESHELL NDEGEOCELLO; providing his specialized drumming & drum-loops to underground dance & electronic music innovators from GOLDIE to ROBERT MILES; special projects with classical music virtuosos such as French-Italian pianist KATIA LABEQUE & Russian violin-prodigy VIKTORIA MULLOVA; long-time collaborations with Malian master musician & Grammy-nominated producer/arranger CHEICK TIDIANE SECK, including 20 years of live concerts with Cheick alongside some of Mali’s most important and influential artists, including singer OUMOU SANGARE, kora-master TOUMANI DIABATE and “the new-Oumou” FATOUMATA DIAWARA among many other international artists; continuing 10-years of touring and recording with Cuban piano virtuoso OMAR SOSA resulting in 2 Grammy-nominated albums (the most recent “Eggun” co-produced by Marque); plus years of work with various Indian classical, contemporary and future South Asian artists such as the UK’s “tabla-tronic” maestro TALVIN SINGH, innovative DJ/Producer/Educator STATE OF BENGAL, Tamil-Londoner vocalist SUSHEELA RAMEN and traditional Bengali Sufi Master PABAN DAS BAUL.

One of Marque’s highest honours is to have played as a member of the infamous ZAWINUL SYNDICATE with Jazz keyboard/composer legend JOE ZAWINUL (RIP), co-founder of the seminal 1970’s Jazz-Fusion group Weather Report. Continuing his work with genre-defining and genre-defying keyboard players, this year 2015 kicked off with Marque touring with African-American songwriting legend BRIAN JACKSON, famous for his groundbreaking collaborations with the iconic revolutionary poet, musician and author GIL SCOTT-HERON.
