Phil Marques on SoundBetter

Ready to add some guitar to your mix? I've worked on numerous tracks for various musicians and studio projects! I specialize in the rock and metal sound, and hopefully I can add more creativity to your track!

Born and raised in the Toronto/Mississauga area and relocating to Kitchener, Ontario; local videographer Phil Marques had an interest to combine his love for music and videography together!

Phil has had the privilege of working with local artists such as Breaching Vista, Amberwood, The Red Factor, Red Handed Denial, Shae Dupuy and To The Trees. As well as big touring acts such as Texas In July, August Burns Red, Adam Gontier, One Bad Son, and Say Yes!

When not filming videos, he also plays guitar for Kitchener based singer Victoria Bernardo, as well as metalcore band Crimzon Red!

Phil is looking to continue his songwriting and production techniques by working with different artists and producers!
