He  has a younger brother, Kyle (with the greatest hair on the planet.......great for hair endorsements) an up and coming 10 year old jazz singer. He then moved with his family to California for 3 years.  Eventually, Marshall ended up in the city of  lights,  Las Vegas, Nevada where he has been living for the past 11 years.

       Marshall started his singing career at the age of  5 when he was invited to appear on a local Filipino television variety show because he was  able to speak Filipino fluently.  The invitation turned into his own 10 minute segment of the show called "MJ's Kiddie Corner" which featured him singing and performing short skits.
       At the age of 9, Marshall started his formal vocal training with Billie Cole of Deblanc Music, one of  Las Vegas premier vocal coaches.  Marshall has been studying and training in singing, artist development and stage performance for the past 5 years.  Around three years into his vocal training and trying many different style of songs from R&B, Broadway, Pop, Jazz,  his voice coach asked him to try something new,  classical music in Italian.  Marshall's voice coach asked if he would try the song "Mi Mancherai" by Josh Groban.  He took the backing track with lyrics home and learned the song in one week. This is when his training in classical music began. He found he was naturally gifted and really loved this style of music. He knew at this moment this was all he ever wanted to do.That was to be a singer.

       In February 2007 Marshall entered his very first talent show "Henderson's Got Talent" put on by the city of Henderson, Nevada. He won 1st place against high school age students  with the song "Per Te".

      In March 2007 Marshall continued on to appear in the V Theater at the Planet Hollywood Casino, Kids for Kids Fundraiser, produced in association with Keri Mckee , USANA Health Sciences & David Saxe Productions. Since that moment, he has appeared and been featured on local news television (Channel 3 Action News Las Vegas), newspapers, festivals such as San Genarro Italian Festival, Henderson Arts Festival, Las Vegas Latin Festival,  Charity fundraisers for Alzheimer's at the famous Fashion Show Mall, performing for the Mayor of Las Vegas, Oscar Goodman, featured at many local restaurants, private functions and many different events in Las Vegas. He has also sung the National Anthem for UNLV Rebels college basketball at Thomas and Mack Center and performing at many Las Vegas hotels like Aladdin and Circus Circus.

      Marshall is inspired by many of his favorite singers such as Andrea Bocelli and Josh Groban which he dreams of one day singing with them.

      He currently attends one of Las Vegas magnet program for creative arts middle schools,  and plans on going to Las Vegas Academy of Performing Arts in the future, whilst pursuing his singing career.

About Me

Poker Mom of the Year?

When the police walked into Woody’s Press Box at one in the morning in Wyoming, they were looking for the mother of three kids. The children, found waiting in a car in the parking lot, were without parental supervision but the police were not sure for how long. Ranging in age from five to fifteen, the kids were alone because their mother was inside, where the police found her in the midst of playing a Texas Holdem poker tournament. The woman was cited for child neglect and will now be persecuted by the state prosecutor’s office.

WPT stock closed at $1.26

The news simply doesn’t get any better on the financial side for the World Poker Tour.

WPT stock closed at $1.26 on Thursday, giving the company a value of $25.82 million. The WPT has assets and cash in hand totaling $31 million.

According to poker-king.com, WPT stock hit an all-time high of $29.50 in 2005, the high-water mark before a serious downturn:

They are getting much less per episode in their new deal with the Game Show Network compared to their previous deal with the Travel Network. They received 477k per episode in Season 5 - this year they are receiving $300k per episode. They posted revenues for their online gaming business of $1.2 million dollars for all of 2007, down from $3.2 million dollars in 2006. They posted a net loss of $9.6 million dollars in 2007. Revenues decreased $7.5 million dollars from 2006 to 2007.

Company executives are still painting a rosy picture with the future of worldpokertour.com and clubwpt.com as future cash revenue streams, although immediate relief from economic woes does not seem to be on the horizon.

No more hot food at Diamond Lounges?

With the closing of the 7 Star Lounge at Caesars Palace, there's been some talk about the downgrading of the Diamond lounges at Harrah's properties.

Diamond lounges are open to Diamond players, who are players earning 11,000 in base points in a calendar year (each point is equivalent to $5 in playthrough on slots).

The rumor is that hot food has been removed from all Diamond lounges in Las Vegas to match other like lounges in the midwest.

We wanted to check to be sure and stopped by Harrah's last Saturday.

We were there in the evening, and while we saw no traces of hot food, there were chips, salsa, cookies, and other snacks that seemed to corroborate what people in the message boards have been saying.

We spoke with a Harrah's host and were told that hot food is still being served, but just between 4 to 6 p.m. We were also shown a menu that listed the different hot food that would be set out over the next week.

Of course, the bar was as full as ever, and mudslides were still freely flowing.

So the rumors of the death of hot food has been exaggerated. As long as you're there between 4 and 6 p.m.
