Marlo's Bio
Born in the heart of Detroit, Marlon Wells grew up enveloped in a rich tapestry of sound, a musical foundry where Motown's legends and jazz greats like Sarah Vaughan and Nancy Wilson shaped his destiny.
Marlon’s fathers work with icons like Marvin Gaye and Mary Wells provided the initial
spark, but it was his mother who introduced him to the sophisticated melodies of jazz,
irrevocably shifting his path. He was further inspired by the electrifying stage presence
of Al Jarreau, an experience that blew him away and solidified his own desire to
perform. Though a master vocalist in any genre, soulful jazz is where Marlon Wells feels most authentic, bringing an infectious energy to every stage.
A former contestant on The Voice in 2017, Marlon’s career highlights include performing to an adoring crowd in Paris in August 2025. With four albums and several singles released throughout his career, Marlon Wells continues to refine his artistry, promising new, unheard music for his upcoming 2026 Los Angeles show at the Catalina Grill—a must-see event and unforgettable party.

The American dream came true for Catalina Popescu in October of 1986 when she and her husband Bob created a supper club devoted to serving an experience of superb eats and the shared magic of live performance. That grand experience began at the door where every night her mother Maria would greet each guest as family and share in their love of music. Housed in Hollywood and decked out in a timeless charm, the club offers a cozy ambience under sparkling stage lights garnished with its signature concoction — Jazz. The first artist to grace the stage was the masterful flutist and saxophonist Buddy Collette, and ever since then, over the past 36 years, the Catalina Jazz Club has hosted the most illustrious legends of all time — from the powerful puffers of Dizzy Gillespie to the electrified fingers of McCoy Tyner, the bubbly belt of Dee Dee Bridgewater and Lynda Carter, the flirtatious saxophone of Joshua Redman, the slick strumming of Kenny Burrell, the insane drum clinic of Steve Gadd, the romance of Steve Tyrell, and the masterclass of Mike Stern.
For Catalina, Jazz is our way of life. It breathes pain. It knows love. It dreams hope. It bleeds courage. Whether we’re showcasing Broadway, Soul, R&B, or stand-up comedy, the lesson learned from all the greats who have serenaded our spirits is how to connect to one another. And that’s why the Catalina Jazz Club will always have a table ready for you.
The Catalina Jazz Club has been honored by A.S.M.A.C., California Jazz Foundation, Los Angeles Jazz Society, and a City of Los Angeles Certificate of Appreciation on their 25th Anniversary, which was awarded by Mayor Antonio Villaraigosa and the LA City Council which included then City Council member and current Los Angeles Mayor Eric Garcetti.
