| You've read too many biographies in which too many mediocre singers are called "rockstars" or are credited with having the "rock" in them, in a pathetic attempt to cover up their inadequacies. In this case, however, we're talking about the real thing: Marion Raven is a rock chick extraordinaire. For Marion, singing is a vocation, not a career. Other girls want to be a singer. Marion sings. She's simply a jovial, spontaneous, gutsy, charismatic happy lady. She's that rarest of things: a natural. She's flesh and blood in a music industry that thrives on plastic. On stage, she's spirited, she entertains the audience and gives them a good time. She's the anti-bimbo every woman should be. There is no act in her performance . What you see is what you get. In sharp contrast with so many other female singers out there, Marion is not fake, not a wanna-be rockstar, not packaged or groomed. Marion isn’t a one-hit wonder. Like so many young girls, she debuted singing in musicals like “Les Miserable" and “The Wizard of Oz”. Unlike others, she followed it up by performing live at the age of eleven, singing with friends in a school band “Hubba-Bubba”. Before she even realised she got a contract with Atlantic Records with her best friend back then. M2M did well for a couple of years but it was time to move on. A new star took flight, Marion Raven was about to spread her wings. In 2003 Marion had the guts to go solo. Her album “Here I Am” sold really well in Asia. In 2006 and 2007 she went on tour with Meatloaf and Pink while her second album “Set Me Free” was out in Europe. Marion is very ambitious, but you have to think long term. Her success so far was achieved purely on the basis of a great voice and an irresistible stage presence, not through stunts, gossip or big media campaigns. In March 2010 will a third CD see the light. She has been living in her own creative bubble for the past years and this will result in more rocking melody’s and lyrics that come from deep inside. Beyond that, the sky is the limit. |
