Marc Storace (Sto-rah-che)(born October 7, 1951) is a Maltese born rock vocalist. His career in music started in the 1960s. He is most noted for his position as frontman, lead singer and songwriter of Swiss hard rock band Krokus from 1980. Before joining Krokus he sang with the Swiss Prog Rockers TEA. He has since also undertaken a solo project, duets, an acoustical project, and many Guest slots. He also had some close encounters with the classical meets rock world and has worked with a few other rock acts as writer and a singer.
Marc has a high pitched raunchy voice, making him a very distinct vocalist, and has been compared to AC/DC's former lead singer Bon Scott or Led Zeppelin's Robert Plant in terms of vocal style, sharing many of their vocal qualities. Since he began singing professionally in the 1970s, his style and voice have remained largely the same, with a noticeable increase of character, through maturity and years of live and studio experience.
Marc has recently played a major role in the Swiss-German films Anuk and Handyman, in which he acted, as well as contributed his writing and singing to songs for both the film's soundtracks.
Born as Mark Anthony Storace Crockford, one of six children to Anthony Storace and Edna Crockford on the Mediterranean island of Malta, Marc taught himself to sing at a fairly young age. His life in bands began at the age of fourteen (1965) when he made his first live performances with two local bands: Stonehenge Union (who covered the likes of The Beatles, The Rolling Stones , The Troggs and The Kinks) and: The Boys (who covered some of the same songs, as well as chart material and more vocally challenging songs e.g. Aquarius from the Musical "HAIR"). In the late 1960s, The Boys (still with Marc as lead vocalist) changed their name to Cinnamon Hades, and, whilst retaining The Beatles Abbey Road Medley changed to cover hard rock acts such as Led Zeppelin, Deep Purple, Jimi Hendrix Black Sabbath or The Who.
