Marc Secara
Jazz / Vocal / Pop
Berlin-based jazz and pop vocalist, leader of the Berlin Jazz Orchestra, whose "Come What May" continues the songbook tradition.
Marc Secara was born in Bad Harzburg and raised in Bavaria, where he founded his first band at 15. He studied jazz and pop vocals at the Hanns Eisler School of Music in Berlin and received an IASJ scholarship at the Berklee College of Music in Boston. Since 2000 he has worked with his own big band, the Berlin Jazz Orchestra under Jiggs Whigham; in 2001 he became the first Western artist in 20 years allowed to tour Iran, winning Best Artist at the Fadjr Festival. Since 2013 he has been professor of voice at the SRH University of Popular Arts Berlin. His album "Come What May" (2026, XJAZZ! Music) was created with pianist Wolfgang Köhler and saxophonist Peter Weniger — newly composed pieces translating the great songbook tradition into the present.
