Born with twin Marcus Anderson, and an older set of twins, Alphaeus and Aaron Anderson, a group was formed called The Anderson Twins, which sang locally throughout all of Spartanburg and surrounding areas. Marcel later formed an R&B group called Three Part Harmony, which performed on many stages and competitions, winning at least a dozen awards. It was during this time in his life that Marcel started writing his own music and developed a passion for sharing his gift. Marcel writes and sings music from his soul and every time he hits the stage, you can hear it in his voice. Marcel has also won contemporary artist and best urban soul artist for the top Gospel Independent Awards in the US.
Marcel Anderson has traveled the world singing alongside his twin brother sax player Marcus Anderson. His brother’s work with the late Prince and the New Power Generation led him to join stages with the likes of Ceelo Green, Judith Hill, Stevie Wonder, Sheila E., Anthony Hamilton and Liv Warfield just to name a few.
Although singing was Marcel’s first passion, he also developed a love for education and mentoring. He earned a Bachelor of Arts Degree in Psychology from Saint Augustine’s University in Raleigh, North Carolina and a Master degree in Human Behavior from Capella University. Marcel became the founder and CEO of Accelerating Men Inc., a nonprofit community faith-based organization that mentors young men ages 10-18, with locations in both North Carolina and South Carolina. Through workshops, mentoring, and conference calls, Accelerating Men works hard to educate, train, and cultivate young men to become all that God has called them to be.
