Marky (real name Marcus D. Plater, born December 7, 1988) is a rap/hip-hop artist from Washington D.C. signed under SRC Records/Universal Republic.
At the age of 11, Marky began his journey as an artist – from rapping over hip-hop classics and teaming up for a song with the legendary Erick Sermon of EPMD, to experiencing the opportunity to freestyle with Big Daddy Kane.
He released the go-go-influenced single "Thug Passion" and opened the Screamfest '07 tour in Washington, D.C.
Shortly after, Marky's first single "Sheila"[1] caught the attention of SRC Records chairman Steve Rifkind.
After parting ways with Studio 43, Marky has set out on his own with his new bi-coastal team Winning Streak on a new project titled Divine Intervention.
