On his YouTube channel, Kings Treasures, he has 50 subscribers and only two uploads. On March 28, 2016, he again uploaded another song titled 'FUNK MACHINE'.

This video has garnered more than two thousand views. It features his daughter as well. Some viewers compared his daughter to grand mom Riperton and found them similar.

Similarly, Marc and his little sister also saw his mom's mesmerizing performances as a child. To create cancer awareness, he attended the Minnie Riperton 20th Annual 5K/10K run/walk event in Los Angeles.

Since his mom was a cancer victim, Marc also became concerned about his health. He found the presence of lumps in his body. So, he suspected that even he might have cancer.
