He was brought to the attention of the English DJ Bryan Gee, head of V Recordings, who saw Marky playing in a club in São Paulo in 1998. He invited the DJ to play in London. This experience resulted in a residency at the club Movement, a subsequent residency at The End club, work for the UK's BBC Radio 1, and global popularity.
Marky got started in drum and bass in 1992, but by 1997, he went to London and met DJ Hype and Goldie. In 1999, he was awarded "Best New DJ" by the UK music critics. The recording sessions of his album, Working the Mix, happened in his house, with two pick ups, one mixer and vinyl albums. His appeal became more widespread after a two hour set on BBC Radio 1's Essential Mix in March 2004, and his album In Rotation.
In 2006, DJ Marky played the Lovebox Festival in Victoria Park, east London as one of the headline acts.
DJ Marky released the album Influences: Compiled & Mixed by DJ Marky through BBE music in August 2008.
Some of Marky's songs can be found on the video game, FIFA Street 2. DJ Marky has released music on Innerground Records (a subsidiary of Bulldozer Media).

Famous quotes containing the word career:
“It is a great many years since at the outset of my career I had to think seriously what life had to offer that was worth having. I came to the conclusion that the chief good for me was freedom to learn, think, and say what I pleased, when I pleased. I have acted on that conviction... and though strongly, and perhaps wisely, warned that I should probably come to grief, I am entirely satisfied with the results of the line of action I have adopted.”
—Thomas Henry Huxley (1825–95)
“I restore myself when I’m alone. A career is born in public—talent in privacy.”
—Marilyn Monroe (1926–1962)
“I seemed intent on making it as difficult for myself as possible to pursue my “male” career goal. I not only procrastinated endlessly, submitting my medical school application at the very last minute, but continued to crave a conventional female role even as I moved ahead with my “male” pursuits.”
—Margaret S. Mahler (1897–1985)
