CHOCOLATE GENIUS is the brain child of singer / songwriter
Marc Anthony Thompson. His debut ³BLACK MUSIC² is strong and
beautiful in its smoky ballads and haunting rock. As a
composer he stands to bridge the gap as the link between
Tom Waits and Tricky. Chocolate Genius challenges the audience
and questions the boundaries of musical genres and styles.
³Not many people could get away with calling themselves
Chocolate Genius. Then again, not many people are blessed
with the multi-culti fluidity expressed by Marc
Anthony Thompson.² - Seconds Magazine

APOLOGIES:
- We do our best to ensure everyone has a good time, events run smooth
and that you are treated with respect. Now, unfortunately we do not own
the venues we work in and often the club owners implement their own
strict door policies, so we apologize for anyone who has been turned away
for not having picure ID. The best bet from now on (in New York's
Guiliani clubland) is to please always bring photo ID with you,
especially since we are making as many events as we can 18 +.
Thanks to everyone for your support - with your presence and
feedback we will continue to bring you the best of the best in
events. Feel free to send us your thoughts and names to add to
the mailing list to the address below.
