Brian Marquis (born May 1, 1981) is an American singer-songwriter from Boston, Massachusetts.

Brian Marquis was born and raised in New England, splitting time growing up between the Northwest hills of Connecticut and Boston, Massachusetts. From the age of 13, he has served as a member of various bands before joining Therefore I Am, a Boston-based post-hardcore band, in 2006. As the guitarist in the band, this became the start of his professional music career.

The band developed a strong fan base following the strength of their ferocious live shows, and their 2006 EP "You Are Connected." After successful years of touring including spots on Vans Warped Tour and Rockstar Taste of Chaos Tour the band was designated as a "Best Unsigned Band of the Month" by Alternative Press Magazine, and featured as one of the "Top Unsigned Bands in the U.S." on DailyChorus.com. The band released two albums before they announced their decision to break up in 2010. Brian expressed in an interview with Gaining Ground Media: "Being in a band is great, but sometimes you need something that is all under your control: musically and decision-wise."
