In the year 1999, Marquese
joined the US Navy where he spent 4 years as the USS Constellation navigator.
He toured Mexico, Gulf Region, Hawaii, Australia and Singapore. During these
years, he had realized that he was still filled with the love of dance. For
this reason, he finally decided to pursue his professional dancing career after
his enlistment in 2003.
By pursuing this
career, he got the name “Nonstop”. It was the same year when Nonstop moved to
Atlanta GA. This is the place where he learned more dance techniques and met
more dancers. He became a member of different dance groups such as Electric
Ground Control, G-Style South, Siberian Nights, and Collizion being a founding
Remote Kontrol member.
He then started
to upload videos of himself in YouTube while dancing in different public
places. He also appeared on America’s Got Talent and So You Think You Can Dance
with Remote Kontrol, his dance crew. His 53rd YouTube video showed
that he is danced to the Pumped Up Kicks of Foster the People in 2011 with the
Butch Clancy remix. He then obtained notoriety for his special dancing
abilities. That video became viral and in four months, it gained more than 30
million views. In the present, that video has already more than 99 million
views.
Nonstop has been
dancing to dubstep which is the kind of music originated in United Kingdom
(specifically in London). His dance moves are incorporated with elements of
popping, waving and animation. In fact, all of his videos were not aided by any
trick photography. Rather, they reflect un-choreographed body movements in real
times. After a big break in Pumped Up Kicks, Nonstop also appeared on The Ellen
DeGeneres Show including other online and TV commercials. Here, he showcased
his remarkable performance on the dance floor. Marquese also founded the dance
event called as “Shut Up and Dance”.
Today, Marquese
Scott is one of the YouTube personalities. He is a dubstep street dancer and
hip hop dancer who has already been seen in different television shows, music
videos, live performances and advertisements. He got YouTube channels which are
WHZGUD2 and WHZGUD.
