Marcía - Vocalist

Marcía (rhymes with Garcia) can't remember a time when she wasn't singing. A product of the racially rich neighborhood on the northside of Milwaukee where she grew up, Motown music was an early and strong influence. Aretha Franklin, Stevie Wonder, Marvin Gaye and the Supremes were some of the artists she would listen to over and over again. She studied music at UW-Milwaukee and the Wisconsin Conservatory of Music. As was a founding member of the jazz-funk group, Suntouch, she toured extensively throughout the Midwest and Florida.

Living in Chicago for the past 16 years, she has been working as a freelance artist and has been featured in several "Local Vocal Brew" showcases hosted by the well known Chicago vocalist, Wendy Morgan.

She's thrilled to be exploring her soul roots singing in Grooveology.

"Marcía has a serious Dinah Washington kind of thing going on....so sassy!" - Deirdre Fellner Milwaukee diva and leader of "The Whole of Soul"
