Marissa was discovered by her kindergarten teacher who asked her to sing at her kindergarten graduation. She didn't take that discovery seriously, because she thought she would be a classical pianist. She won the Lucy Moses Concerto Competition at the age of 8 and debuted with an orchestra at Merkin Hall in New York City. At the age of 9, she won a Young Artist Competition and received a concert at Carneige Hall in New York City. She always sang, but just for fun.
She started to take her voice seriously at 12 years old. She needed a break from the intensity and pressures of classical piano, and began singing for relaxation. She started to get noticed more and more because of her vocal ability. She eventually decided to combine both of her talents into something truly unique.
Marissa has been heading music ministry by leading her church in worship since the age of 14. She feels called to spread the word of God. It was what felt right to her and to everyone who has heard her music.
Marissa has performed extensively, she's been invited to open for Jessie McCartney, has performed with Grammy winner song writer Gordon Chambers, and performed at the Bitter End with Vanessa Carlton (5 time Grammy nominee) and Jessie Harris, Grammy winner (Songwriter of the year 2003). She's also shared the stage with the Jonas Brothers, Aly and AJ, Everlife and Teddy Geiger. In addition to writing and performing her music, Marissa has been featured in several top Teen magazines, and has appeared and used her voice on numerous national commercial spots.
She has recently started college in Nashville, TN and is writing her second album.
GRACIAS POR HACERME PARTE DE TU GRAN TESORO DE AMIGOS!!! (: EL PLACER ES INMENSO!!! AQUI TE DEJO UN PENSAMIENTO PARA QUE LO DISFRUTES!!!
CADA DIA QUE VIVES!... Es una ocasión especial!!!... Por eso!... Siéntate en la terraza y admira la vista sin fijarte únicamente en las malas hierbas... Pasa más tiempo con tu familia y amigos y menos tiempo trabajando.... La vida es una sucesión de experiencias para disfrutar no para sobrevivir... Usa tus copas de cristal... Ponte tu nueva ropa para ir al supermercado. No guardes tu mejor perfume para esa fiesta especial... Usalo cada vez que te den ganas de hacerlo... Las frases "algún día"... o "Uno de estos días" Quítalas de tu vocabulario!... Mi amigo/a... Creeme!!! Si vale la pena hacerlo, oírlo, verlo, Debes poder disfrutarlo ahora!!!... Si supiéramos el tiempo que nos queda de vida... Seguramente!!!... Desearíamos estar con nuestros seres queridos... iríamos a comer nuestra comida preferida... visitaríamos los sitios que amamos!!! Te aseguro!!!... que son pequeñas las cosas que nos harían enojar si supiéramos que nuestras horas están contadas... Si ese fuera el caso!... Sabes realmente porque nos enojariamos???... Seguro por haber dejado de ver a nuestros mejores amigos... Por no haber escrito aquellas cartas que pensábamos escribir y no lo hicimos!... pensando... "Uno de estos días lo hago"... es muy posible que estariamos enojados y tristes porque no dijimos a nuestros padres, hermanos, hijos, sobrinos, amigos, cuánto los queremos!!!... Por eso!!!... No intentes retardar o detener o guardar nada que agregaría risa y alegría a tu vida... No cometas ese error!!!... Cada día, cada hora, cada minuto, cada semana es especial!!!... Ten siempre eso presente!!!... No dejes para mañana lo que hoy puede ser una bendicion para ti!!!...En mi tienes un amigo!!!... (: En Dios tienes al mejor de todos!!! Un abrazo!!! Saul.
Thanks for making the Roy Moore 2010 governor unofficial, your friend. Spread the news that we need (moore)friends for Judge Moore. I don't think you will find a more honest man, we need more men like him in office. Feel free to contact me with any ideas that will help get him elected.
