Bio

MELLIS, otherwise known as Marc Ellis, is a NZ multi-instrumentalist, producer and composer.
Playing trumpet from age 6, MELLIS completed all practical Trinity/Royals exams, up to ATCL by age 18 and spent the majority of those years playing in Orchestra, Jazz Ensemble’s, Big Band and Brass Bands where he eventually joined the NZ Army Band full time and has served for 16 years.

Marc has traveled & performed at the Edinburgh Military Tattoo 7 times, The Queens Jubilee at Windsor Castle twice, Basel Tattoo in Switzerland 5 times, Bremen Tattoo in Germany, London, Singapore, Gallipoli in Turkey, Abu Dhabi, Dubai and many more.

MELLIS began his interest in production in 2004 and eventually took over the role as Electronics IC in the NZ Army Band in 2006 where he drastically improved his skills in recording, mixing, mastering & live sound.

Ultimately, this was the birth of MELLIS which started as a time filler project on a laptop while touring and eventually evolved into a fully fledged home studio.

With all these overseas experiences and performances in multiple genres, MELLIS becomes the melting pot of creativity and uniqueness.
