Biography: One Word Song is the solo-project of Marquis McMichael, based out of NYC outer-borough Jersey City, New Jersey. Marquis is the rare breed of talents that plays nearly every instrument on his records as well as co-produces them. One Word Song's live shows are an energetic, uplifting and emotionally charged affair featuring a full band taking on the songs and bringing new life to their studio forms. Marquis' music has unique emotional qualities that has created a loyal and rabid following in the New York/New Jersey pop rock scene.

In 2010, OWS has been writing and recording an EP with producer Jesse Cannon (Saves the Day, Head Automatica, The Cure). Marquis wrote the lead-off track, "Get Famous", as "A rebel yell to all of the people out there pursuing their dreams. It's a song about empowering yourself to create the life you really want."

On the dance pop track "Animal", Marquis drew inspiration from the songs he hears DJed at the clubs he frequents in NYC. "That song was written for the party animal in us all." He adds, "And the lyrics really tug at your heart strings, ya know?"
