Marc Storace (''Sto-rah-chey'') is a Maltese rock vocalist and songwriter. His career in music started in the 1960s, but he is most noted for his position as frontman, lead singer and songwriter of Swiss hard rock band Krokus from 1980. Before joining ''Krokus'' he sang with the Swiss progressive rockers ''TEA'' following smaller bands - including one he had formed himself in London. He has since also undertaken a solo project, duets and an acoustical project. He also had some close encounters with the classical world and has worked with numerous other rock acts as both a writer and a singer. Marc has a very high, three-octave voice, making him a very distinct vocalist, and has been compared to AC/DC's former lead singer Bon Scott or Led Zeppelin's Robert Plant in terms of vocal style, sharing many of their vocal qualities. Since he began singing professionally in the 1970s, his style and voice have remained largely the same, with a noticeable increase of character, through maturity and years of ''live'' and ''studio'' experience. Marc has recently played a major role in the Swiss-German films ''Anuk'' and ''Handyman'', in which he acted as well as writing and performing songs for the film's soundtracks. ==Early life== Born as one of six children to Anthony Storace and Edna Crockford on the Mediterranean island of Malta, Marc taught himself to sing at a fairly early age. His life in music began at the age of fourteen when he made his first live performances with two local bands - Stonehenge Union (who covered the likes of The Beatles, The Rolling Stones and The Kinks) and The Boys (who covered some of the same songs, as well as chart material and more vocally challenging songs). In the late 1960s, The Boys (still with Marc as lead vocalist) changed their name to Cinnamon Hades, and changed their genre to cover hard rock acts such as Led Zeppelin, Jimi Hendrix and The Who. After these early experiences, and wanting to make a career out of his talent, he moved to London, England, in 1970. Further on in his career, after joining Krokus, many people who heard Marc sing thought that he sounded like Bon Scott of AC/DC. He did not take this as a compliment at the time,〔(Interview with Marc Storace at ''classicrockrevisited.com'' )〕 saying that, with all respect to Bon, he had his own singing identity. In fact, Marc was later approached to audition for the frontman job with AC/DC after Bon's tragic death, but Krokus was enjoying a very fast increase in success and Marc's loyalty to his bandmates meant a lot to him. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Marc Storace」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
