Marcus Powell: From Blindspott to inspiring youth

From Afternoons, 2:19 pm on 24 October 2017

If you went to Big Day Out during its lifetime you might have heard Marcus Powell performing.

He was the guitarist for Blindspott, the alternative metal band out of West Auckland. Marcus is also the founder and chief executive of The Crescendo Trust a not-for-profit organisation using music to help young people out of trouble.

Marcus takes Jesse through some of his favourite songs and talks about the moment he realised he could help young people get out of a rut.
