Massive Ego formed in 1996 with original band members Marc Massive and Andy Thirlwall. Over the years there have been several line-up changes for the band however the consistent factor in the band is front man Marc. Who over the last decade has modelled for Dolce and Gabbana, Paul Smith, appeared in various pop videos for the likes of Elton John, Take That, Holly Johnson, advertising campaigns for Levis and Nikos with model agency Storm & So Dam Tuff, to name but a few. Over the years Marc has graced many magazine covers and has been the subject to press interest largely due to the various outrageous androgynous looks he fashions for the Massive Ego image.

He also spent time working as a dancer for Boy George and his project "Jesus Loves You" and MC Kinky of "Everything Starts With An E" fame, giving him a taste of things to come. Massive Ego found a niche within the gay community who welcomed the bands fresh approach and take on dance music. Their distinctive High Energy / Trance sound largely pioneered by producer Ross Alexander and ex-PWL producer Barry Stone have seen the band participate in UK club tours and annual performances at the biggest Pride events and at celebrity parties. Over the years the band has had its fair share of line-up changes, with some musicians being part of the group for live appearances, whereas other's taking an active part in song creation and studio recording.

Some ex-member's started out with the band, using it as a stepping stone to lead onto their own projects. Most notably of these is Dan Black who brought live guitar to the sound of Massive Ego early on in the band's career, both live on stage and in the studio, and who has since had # 1 tracks in Italy and recently voted one of Radio 1's 'top new names to watch out for' in 2009. The early live gigs of the band often featured lead & bass guitar (Barnaby), drummer as well as keyboards. Other notable longer term member's were Steady (ex Minty) & Dean Bright (Deana-lina...who also previously played keyboards for Dead Or Alive) who alongside Marc Massive took to the road on several tours of clubs the length and beadth of the UK including Heaven, The Fridge, Sound, Ghetto, Flamingo's & NG1 to name just a few. ...show less
