Marc Martel

Marc Martel, who did some of the singing in "Bohemian Rhapsody," was born in Canada in 1977 and grew up in Montreal listening to pop music such as George Michael.His parents had jobs at a church as pastor and choir leader, so it made sense that he would start a Christan rock band called Downhere, with several of his college friends. A record deal resulting in several albums led to his relocating to the States, in Nashville.When Queen drummer Roger Taylor was organizing a tribute band, Martel did an audition on vocals with the song, "Somebody to Love," and continued touring later with his own group Ultimate Queen Celebration , released an album of Queen covers, and started a 2019 tour of 14 countries where he has become popular as a tribute performer.
