In March 1995 he signed a contract with Columbia France for three albums and released as singles two of the tracks which were to sell the best, "Accouplés" et "La Poupée Barbue".

[5] The song includes elements of Arab music, which would have been familiar to Marka, as his home town had a large North African community.

[5] In 1999 Marka teamed up with his wife, Laurence Bibot, a comedy actress and humorist, and they performed a show called À nous deux at Le Botanique.

The single "L'Etat c'est moi" was released in 2003 and in the same year Marka signed a contract with Inca Music in France.

[5][6] In 2005 Marka set off on his Aktion Man tour, performing in Tokyo, Beijing, Hanoi and Ho Chi Minh City.

Then in 2010 Marka collaborated with lyricists Jacques Duvall and Thierry Robberecht to produce an album titled Made in Liège.

[5] Marka is above all a live performer and his songs are punchy and rhythmic, with offbeat lyrics which make great use of plays on words.

Passionate about football and the club FC Brussels, which was based in Molenbeek until its demise, he has appeared on a radio programme called Il va y avoir du sport, broadcast on the station Bel RTL.

In 2013 he published a book called Marka se reprend, which was accompanied by a "best of" CD and gave rise to a stage show.
