The hip hop song 'Black Potpourri' features exciting lyrics against the background of minor music. Piano and disturbing vocals give meaning to the composition and reveal its deep vibes. The track 'Dark Porcelain' has a pop-punk atmosphere and energetic rhythm with melodic refrains.

behind the birthmark
David Gabriel, publicly known as βMarked Since Day 1β or βThe Marked 1,β is a multidisciplinary artist born and raised in Chicago, most recognized for his work as an independent model and emerging creative force.
The βMarked Since Day 1β moniker was born from the wine-stain birthmark on his faceβa symbol heβs transformed into a bold emblem of individuality and defiance. What began as a personal tag has evolved into a full-fledged identity, celebrating the beauty of the uncommon.
Raised in constant motion and tested by rebellion, The Marked 1 spent much of his youth navigating group homes and living facilitiesβwhere music became both refuge and revelation. His sound shape-shifts from sleek modern flows to raw outlaw ballads, weaving slick barwork with brooding, romantic grit. Lyrically, he plunges headfirst into obsession, loss, and inner chaos with poetic brutality.
Despite his shadowed aesthetic and turbulent past, The Marked 1 is highly educated, holding multiple degrees and thriving professionally as an Architect. Heβs no stranger to precision, intensity, or disciplineβand now, heβs channeling that same relentless drive into his evolution as an artist.
Unapologetically original.
Unmistakably Marked Since day 1.
