Marquis started radio back in 2014 working for his college radio station at The University of Alabama. He hosted various sports shows and his own classic hip-hop show titled “Can I Kick Out.” After college, he worked in sports radio in Tuscaloosa, Alabama and Nashville until the launch of WNXP in 2020, where he started out as the morning show host until becoming the evening host in 2021. Marquis also hosts Soulphonic Sounds, a show featuring a blend of both old & new soul and funk music for a perfect way to unwind and go into the weekend.
With the loss in federal funding, WNXP is now 100% powered by YOU! WNXP depends on the people who value this station and when you donate before 6pm CT on Tuesday, Sept. 29, you’ll be automatically entered in a drawing for two tickets and exclusive entrance to an intimate Soundcheck Party for the Sold Out Phoebe Bridgers concert at Bridgestone.
You aren’t required to make a donation to enter the drawings, but we hope you will support WNXP. Read drawing rules.
