Prince is considered one of modern's music's most talented singers and songwriters. With over 100 singles, Prince's legacy will live on forever. Capturing his spirit and musicianship is already challenging; performing an authentic tribute to the icon, is nearly impossible. Songs like "Purple Rain", "Little Red Corvette", "1999" and many more require virtuoso level skills and vocal range. Marshall Charloff embraces the challenge.

Since 2011, Marshall has toured as The Purple Xperience, the definitive Prince tribute. While Charloff himself plays nearly all the instruments Prince did, Charloff's personality shines on stage.

"To take on Prince you have to be short... tiny, and a multi-instrumentalist. Your vocal range has to go from the highest on the piano, and way beyond. You have to dance. By the way, Prince had an amazing sense of humor," said Charloff "...you have to have that, too."

The Purple Xperience wastes no time in getting audiences on their feet dancing. Recent concerts, including Red Rocks Amphitheater in Morrison, Colo.., showcase Charloff's attention to detail. Charloff, who grew up in Minneapolis, knows the power and love audiences have for the musical genius.

"It's not lost on me that Prince's music and legacy will live on forever," Charloff said. "When we lost Prince, I remember we had a concert that same night. We all struggled but the music connected us - the audience wanted to hear those songs that night especially. We are blessed to continue his music."

Marshall Charloff, styles the magic of Prince's talent in an unmatched fashion. Charloff has also performed nationwide fronting world-class symphonies in most major cities in North America.
