Marchant was born in Montreal, Quebec. He was classically trained in guitar from the age of seven. According to one account, as a young man Marchant lived in his family’s home in the American Adirondack Mountains for three years, living mostly in seclusion, to realize songs that he had written earlier in Los Angeles, California. In 2008, he recorded songs in a church studio in Hudson, New York. Marchant has toured with Nathaniel Rateliff, Rogue Wave, Avi Buffalo and Sondre Lerche.[2][6][7] He has shared the stage with other singer-songwriters, including St. Vincent, Elvis Perkins and Swedish singer The Tallest Man on Earth.[5] His sound has been compared to that of Jim James, Justin Vernon, Nick Drake, Neil Young and M. Ward.
