Marisa Lindsay Jazz / Soul Artist | Lyricist | Creative Writer | Vocal Coach Barbados With over 20 years of experience to her credit, Marisa's musical journey encompasses almost every aspect of vocal performance. From choir to solo artist, background to lead vocals, from hotel/restaurant to nightclub, voice-overs and jingles, stage to studio. Collaborating to achieve mutual goals of success, artist and producer have since created two albums which epitomize the synergy evident in their creative union. In 2007, Marisa’s debut album “Submit 2 Love” presented her to the world as a major talent coming out of Barbados, bridging the gap between Standard, Contemporary and Smooth Jazz. In 2009, the pair followed up with “Deeper Love”, which marked her foray into R &B/Neo Soul, a departure from the jazz cover tunes that were predominant on her first album. Founder of Sayluv Music School (recently partnered with Fun Music Workshop), Marisa is committed to the development of Barbadian vocalists and has prepared many aspiring artists for competition, recording and stage performances. She credits the culturally rich island of Cuba for the major transformative experiences which molded her into the vocalist and teacher she is today. Convinced of the enormous potential of Marisa’s talent, Thunder Dome Sounds CEO and Juno Award winning Producer, Eddie Bullen, took on the task of personally investing in the recording and artistic development of Marisa in 2006.
