Prince was famous for a lot of things, most of which have to do with his music. But he is also kinda known for his size – or lack thereof. Prince was only 5’ 3” and had really small feet (it’s reported that he wore a women’s size 5.5 shoe). The only reason I bring that up is to say that anyone trying to recreate Prince's music or pay tribute to him is stepping into really big shoes – but Marshall Charloff is up to the challenge.

Marshall Charloff & Purple Xperience was co-founded by Marshall and Matt “Doctor” Fink (keyboardist from Prince & The Revolution) back in 2011, and has become the most celebrated tribute to Prince in the world.
