Marshall Jefferson
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Marshall Jefferson (born September 19, 1959 in Chicago) is a musician working within the house music genre,[1] in particular the subgenres of Chicago house and deep house.[2]
Jefferson was originally a producer in the Universal Recording Studios in Chicago, where he met the owner of Trax Records, Larry Sherman. Jefferson's 1986 Chicago house single for Trax, "Move Your Body (The House Music Anthem)", the first house song to use piano,[citation needed] was a popular and influential song in the genre. Jefferson's deep house productions include songs by CeCe Rogers and Sterling Void, and Ten City's first two albums.[2]
"Move Your Body" appeared in the popular video game 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 took a break from music in 1990, then returned to DJing in 1993. He moved to London, England, where he had a five-year residency with the Tribal Gathering and Big Love events.[3]
Jefferson now lives in New Jersey and records for New Jersey-based USB Records, which he co-owns with CeCe Rogers.[citation needed]
Jefferson's career was managed for many years by UK based company Inner Rhythm Artists. In 2005, MN2S Management took over exclusive management of Jefferson.[citation needed]
