Background

Mumford was born on January 31, 1987,[2] in Anaheim, California.[3] His family moved back to their native England when Mumford was six months old.[3] He attended King's College School in Wimbledon where he met fellow band member Ben Lovett.[4] He went on to study classics in the University of Edinburgh but returned to London to focus on his music career after his first year of study. It was in Edinburgh that he penned most of Mumford & Sons' debut album, Sigh No More.[5] He began his musical career playing drums for Laura Marling on tour, along with the other current members of Mumford & Sons. It was through touring with Laura and playing important gigs of his early writing they decided to set up the band in 2007.[6]

Personal life

Marcus' parents, John and Eleanor, are national leaders of the Vineyard Church in the UK and Ireland.[7] Currently, Mumford is reportedly engaged to British actress Carey Mulligan,[8] Previously, Mumford was in a relationship with Laura Marling; they broke up around Christmas 2010, but are reportedly still friends.[9]
