Anwar Marshall

The title of ‘drummer’ is too small to describe Anwar Marshall. And there’s nothing wrong with that. Drummer, multi-instrumentalist, composer, music lover, and producer, Anwar’s ears and skill have been cultivated through exposure, experience, practice, and the academy. His roots in Black music were planted in Philadelphia, where he was born. Always eager to create, Anwar began playing drums at an early age. With a culture as vibrant as Philadelphia’s, there’s a multitude of musical directions to travel. As it were, Anwar branches from the tree of great musicians and producers from Philadelphia’s iconic Soul, Jazz, and R&B sounds. His work as a sideman has earned him 2 Grammy nominations as well as the opportunity to travel across the world. Never not improving and exploring, Anwar released his first body of work as a leader. ‘Cold’, an EP, on May 6th, 2022.
