Marshall Jefferson
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Marshall Jefferson (born September 19, 1959) is widely regarded as one of the leading innovators of the genre of music now known as house music[1], in particular the subgenre of Chicago house. Born in Chicago, Illinois he was originally a producer in the Universal recording studios in Chicago it is here that he met owner of Trax Records, Larry Sherman. He may be best known for inventing the squelchy acid house sound on tracks like "Dream Girl" and "Acid Tracks". However, he was also very influential in the more soulful or "deeper" end of the house spectrum where he produced great music by the likes of CeCe Rogers,[2] Sterling Void as well as Ten City's first two albums.[2] He is well known for his 1986 single, "Move Your Body (The House Music Anthem)."
His "Move Your Body" appeared in the popular videogame Grand Theft Auto: San Andreas, playing on House Music radio station SF-UR. This song also appeared in Michael Winterbottom's film 24 Hour Party People and in the 1991 documentary Paris is Burning. Jefferson now records for New Jersey-based USB Records, which he owns with CeCe Rogers.
Jeffersons career managed for many years by UK based company Inner Rhythm Artists, founded by Alan Jinx Chamberlain [3] and Lee Harvey in 1988. Inner Rhythm agents included Mn2s Management [4] Pure DJs [5] and Profile Artists. In 2005 Mn2s took over exclusive Management of Jefferson
