| Biography |
Marsha Swanson is a
singer/songwriter from London. With a distinctive English
folk-tinged voice and direct delivery, there is a deceptive
simplicity to her songs. Her music reflects inspiration from classic
singer songwriters such as Carole King and John Martyn, through to
the modern atmospheric soundscapes of Fiona Apple & Beth Orton.
The conception of Marsha's forthcoming debut album
"Watershed" began with an extended development deal with
Ruth Rothwell at Universal Publishing. This allowed the time and
space for Marsha to nurture her own individual sound and style.
During this time whilst working in a rehearsal studio in Shepherds
Bush, she met a group of like-minded musicians who form the current
line up both on the album and live. Marsha is also involved in a
side-line writing project with Steve Sidelnyk (programmer/drummer to
Madonna) and Richard Robson (programmer/remixer to Richard Ashcroft/The
Magic Numbers). Following the internet launch of
"Watershed" which took place at Borders music and book
shop in May (a unique promotional event for artist's with
independently released albums), Marsha has now secured national
distribution for "Watershed" which will be available in
all good shops from March 6th 2006.
