“The Time Is Now” marked his 9th worldwide release and is arguably considered his best work to date. It was positioned on several music charts including the Billboard Top 20 Smooth Jazz charts with the hit single ‘Full Tilt’. It also was nominated for an Indie Soul Smooth Jazz Album of the Year award.
In 2022, Lucas released two singles titled ‘Hot Ice’ featuring keyboardist Gino Rosaria and ‘Sir Dee’ as a prelude to his 10th album “No Boundaries” to be released in March 2023. Both singles hit #1 on several smooth jazz charts and has become an instant fan favorites.

Over the next 10 years, Marqueal traveled the world with Brian, appeared in two DVDs, and was featured on four albums. The exposure gave him the confidence and desire to become a solo artist.
Marqueal’s solo debut album, Catalyst, was released in October 2013. It helped to establish him as an emerging artist in Smooth & Contemporary Jazz. In 2019, he released his second project, Intention & Purpose. The album yielded two Top 20 hits on the Billboard Smooth Jazz Singles Chart, “If You Only Knew” and “The Edge”.
Marqueal’s current album, All We Have Are Moments was released in early 2022. The album contains singles “Last Call” and “Sistas” which are well received by SiriusXM Watercolors and Smooth Jazz Radio.
In addition to leading and touring with his own band, Marqueal occasionally tours with legendary band The Isley Brothers.
