Marcus Vance is a Detroit-born cultural critic who views the city’s history through the lens of a scratched vinyl record: rugged, soulful, and deeply authentic. Growing Marcus, also called Mars spent his youth navigating the city's DIY underground, a background that now fuels his reporting on the intersection of art, race, and urban survival. He is less interested in press releases from developers and more concerned with the legacy of the neighborhood's "old guards" and the grassroots energy of its creators.
When he isn't tracking down a lead on a shuttered community center or profiling a local muralist, he’s likely digging through crates at a North End record shop or debating the merits of a proper Detroit-style pizza. For Mars, reporting isn't just a job; it’s a lifelong commitment to documenting the heartbeat of the 313.
