Marquies Dequawn Wilson is an entertainer who loves to perform. He was born on October 3, 1993 in Miami, Fl to Brenita D. Wilson and Joseph Spencer III. Exactly four months after he was born in the year 1994, his father Joseph was killed. So instantly Marquies was brought up in a single-family household with a young mother who just started to experience the real for herself and was trying to get her life together at that point. So, he was moved back and forth from his mother’s house to grandparents’ house.  A lot of Marquies’s molding as a man came from his grandfather Willie. Whom was a stern man, that worked from sun up to sun down to provide for his entire family. That work ethic translated into Marquies himself.   

 

Growing up Marquies found a liking towards Tennis and acting. Tennis because it allowed him to get his aggression out on topics in his life. Acting because it allowed him to escape the realities of his life. In early childhood, he watched his close friends and family members with their fathers. This was always the piece of the puzzle that he seemed to miss out of his life. The only positive male figure that was really close was his grandfather, but he was barely there. 

 

He got his first taste of Acting and Singing in a showcase in elementary school performing the song “Santa’s Job is a Snap”. Being the star of the show this propelled Marquies into a different world of being a performer. All throughout Middle, High and College his love grew rapidly as the years passed. He couldn’t get enough of performing so after high school he pursued acting in the real world. Landing him extra work on South Beach Tow, Ballers and many more. Also, his ambition introduced him into an underground indie film world in Miami, Fl. Also working on a plethora of films in this realm, including many theater productions. His hunger for the arts and grit landed him three different agents at the time.

 

Eventually switching his major back to Acting because he had a little doubt in his mind that he wasn’t going to make it. He applied for SCAD and sent in an audition tape and got accepted. Spending a full year (4 quarters) there he eventually transferred to Savannah State University where he will graduate with his B.F.A in Visual & Performing Arts. He continues to get outside work in professional theater companies and film sets.
