Marisa Lindsay
Marisa Lindsay's vocal talent reflects her naturally charismatic personality while drawing the listener in, to reveal a deep, soulful, sensual woman. Her musical journey encompasses almost every aspect of vocal performance from choir to solo artist, background to lead vocals, from hotels and restaurants to nightclubs, voice-overs to jingles, stage to studio.
Marisa's warm spirit and genuine love for her art is seamlessly woven into the fabric of every performance. Her purpose is evident in her effortless yet compelling presence as she commands her stage. Marisa as a proud representative of Barbados has toured throughout the Caribbean, London, Ireland, Scotland, Toronto, Ottawa Jazz Festival, New York, Las Vegas and Portugal. Marisa has also opened for many international acts such as Air Supply, Brian Mc Knight, Peabo Bryson, Macy Gray and Babyface.
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 the artistic development of Marisa in 2006. 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.
Committed to documenting Marisa’s artistic evolution as an authentically Barbadian export, Thunderdome Sounds is set to release the first single from Marisa’s new album in the summer of 2016. The album continues the tradition of superb production ,arrangement,signature vocals and the honest purpose driven soul-lyric that Marisa Lindsay fans appreciate.
Prior to the successful launch of her recording career, Marisa was quietly honing her skills, taking time out to expand her musicality and receive vocal training in Cuba. It is this culturally rich island that she credits for the major transformative experiences which molded her into the vocal artiste and vocal coach she is to this day.
