Later, when life took her all over mainland Spain, the Baleares and the Canaries she fell in love with Latin music, particularly Spanish Classical Guitar heard on balmy evenings when strolling barefoot along the beach. Memories of "footprints in the sand". Nothing like the sound of the sea with the waves gently lapping against the shore with some lovely music echoing in the background and the sea glistening by the light of the silvery moon!.... ('let's take a walk together, near the open shore, hand in hand you and I, let's 'Cherish' every moment, we have been given, as time passes by...') - Love the song 'Ballad de Adelaide' I think it's called, classical peace, latin sound, beautiful on acoustic guitar, also love 'Cavatina' which also has that acoustic, gentle guitar sound and I've heard that played often by Latin guitarists whilst sitting late night/early hours of morning at a restaurant by the sea - evokes powerful and beautiful memories of a feeling of peace and calm with the world * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * Rae definately HASN'T been influenced by overcooked, overcomplicated vocals where the effort to be a power singer and prove technical ability overshadows the true meaning and words of the song being sung. ( Rae can't STAND that 'playing with the note' thing and sreechy high thing that a lot of the modern singers do, yes, it shows their range off, but it often (in Raes' opinion, murders the song!)...However, power singers admired = Donna Summer (effortless power), Chaka Khan (eg: her version of Funny Valentine- on Waiting to Exhale + Ain't Nobody - terrific dance track)...Rae enjoys singing Burt Bacharach covers (Valley of the Dolls, Walk on By, House is not a Home, Anyone who Had a Heart etc) and is constantly updating her repertoire to add songs she feels would be enjoyed by her audience and which suit her range/tone/phrasing and overall image, some of these being songs originally covered by male vocalists ..... * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * Along with Jazz/Blues/Soul & Latin Rae loves FUNK - DISCO - too (anythin' from the late 70s/80s that they play on HEART FM on Friday nights - that got people up on the mirrored disco floor dancing around the handbags.. loves : - Johnson Brothers - Whispers - Commodores (especially 'Nightshift') - Sugar Hill Gang (the best and ORIGINAL rap song !) - Disco Inferno - Temptations (Papa was a Rollin' Stone)- Prince - (The Vault album) - Earth Wind and Fire (Fantasy/After the Love has Gone/Boogie Wonderland/September etc!) - Chic (not so much 'le Freak 'as their LESS commercial tracks on THAT album - Warm Summer Night and Chic Cheer etc) - Rose Royce (fantastic memories!) - Eddie Kendricks (Keep on Truckin' Baby) - William de Vaughn (Diamond in the back, sunroof top diggin' the scene...) - Timmy Thomas (Everybody wants to live Together) - Imagination (Body Talk - camp but sexy track!(same vibe as 'Let's get it on'...) - Heatwave (Boogie Nights etc) - The Jacksons (Can you Feel it) - & Michael Jackson (Off the Wall was a great dance album & so many of his ...) all that 'can't sit still' stuff! (Rae really CAN'T! sit still to this kind of music, for example, whilst working in Mallorca with her right leg in plaster (torn ligaments from falling sideways in a pair of wedge sandals - not too much Sangria! honestly!) she used to still dance at the discos spinning around on the plastered leg in true handbag 'I will Survive' style! ;) )... * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * *
Sounds Like	Hmmm ... Sounds like - Rae!!! ... those who've heard the demo cd vocal and listened to Rae sing live have different ideas regarding who her performance compares to, so ... rather than make comparisons to other vocalists, probably it is easier to suggest who Rae is influenced by rather than who she sounds like ... (think along the lines of the slow, long note phrasing of Roberta Flack & Eva Cassidy with a little bit of Peggy Lee/Julie London/Elkie Brooks/Carole King ... ) ... (and maybe a little bit of breathy Doris Day ... ) - Rae would also love to chill the vocal down when not working with backing tracks (which rely on strong vocal and restrictive phrasing ... ) so she'd enjoy trying out jazz/blues/latin in a less formed style where the vocal just flows with the music in a freefall kind of way... any musicians looking to collaborate - Rae would be keen to hear from you... send a message by myspace mail or myspace comment, or you can leave a voice message on the player below ..... * RADIO PLAYS * ..... * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * RADIO SHOWS RAE HAS BEEN APPROACHED BY WHO HAVE PLAYED HER TRACKS AND VOICE INTROS - EDSTORY AT 979.FM(MELBOURNE), TORPEDO DJ OF MODRADIOUK FM (EUROPE/UK), SMOOTH ATLANTA FM (GEORGIA), HAPPY JAZZ FM (LONDON/SOUTH EAST), JAZZYJ OF TWINCITIESRADIO (MINNEAPOLIS) - THANK YOU FOR YOUR SUPPORT IN FINDING, REQUESTING AND PLAYING - MUCH APPRECIATED DJ FRIENDS OUT THERE! .....

I happened accross Rae Marnie. The track that was playing was "Very Thought Of You" and it slowed me down. As usual it is the first twenty seconds of a track that either catches or doesn't. If it doesn't, I move on. "Very Thought Of You" by Rae Marnie stopped me dead in my tracks. At this point I had no choice but to listen to the rest of her tracks, just to make sure what I heard was real. Immediately swept away by the sound.....the touch of it. Immediately I contacted Rae and asked if she would please send me her tracks so they could be shared with our listeners. Most definately a "world class" jazz-blues singer, Rae Marnie will take you away from what you are focused upon. Grab you. Soften your tenseness and kick you right back. It is no wonder that Rae travels to exotic places singing her song. Give Rae Marnie a listen. You are promised to be touched and lifted away from whatever it is that has distracted.

RE: ... * HOW RAE GOT STARTED AND EXPERIENCE * ... --------------- Raes' vocal talent was discovered by default. Whilst working overseas her career at that time brought her into contact with professional entertainers. A highly experienced professional (who'd worked in West End theatre) heard her singing casually 'Capella' style when she was asked to help a Swedish singer phrase the song in English. Although Rae didn't have any formal training, she was immediately taken on as solo vocalist to perform for large audiences in an upscale nightclub, accompanied by a drummer and guitarist. Once Rae recovered from the initial stage fright - her journey as a vocalist continued... ^ ^ ^ ^ ^ ^ ^ ^ ^ ^ ^ ^ ^ ^ ^ ^ ^ ^ ^ ^ ^ ^ ^ ^ ^ ^ ^ ^ ^ ^ ^ ^ ^ ^ ^ ^ ^ ^ ^ ^ ^ ^ ^ ^ ^ ^ ^ ^ ^ ^ ^ ^ ^ ^ ^ ^ ^ ^ ^ ^ ^ ^ ^ ^ ^ ^ ^ ^ ^ ^ ^ ^ ^ ^ ^ ^ ^ ^ ^ ^ ^ ^ ^ ^ ^ ^ ^ ^ ^ ^ ^ ^ ^ ^ ^ ^ ^ ^ ^ ^ ^ ^ ^ ^ ^ ^ ^ ^ ^ ^ ^ ^ ^ ^ ^ ^ ^ ^ ^ ^ ^ ^ ^ ^ ^ ^ ^ ^ ^ ^ ^ ^ ^ ^ ^ ^ ^ ^ ^ ^ ^ ^ ^ ^ ^ ^ ^ ^ ^ ^ ^ ^ ^ ^ ^ ^ ^ ^ ^ ^ ^ ^ ^ ^ ^ ^ ^ ^ ^ ^ Rae's performed in The Canaries and Spain at 4/5 star hotels and nightclubs on stage. Rae has also performed in London and South East Uk at hotels/nightclubs/ restaurants/wine bars/private members clubs/corporate events/weddings/parties etc. solo aswell as part of a duet.(with a Swedish guitarist-vocalist, a Chilean guitarist-vocalist (a former Tv performer in his native country) plus a London based TV actor/musician/vocalist. ^ ^ ^ ^ ^ ^ ^ ^ ^ ^ ^ ^ ^ ^ ^ ^ ^ ^ ^ ^ ^ ^ ^ ^ ^ ^ ^ ^ ^ ^ ^ ^ ^ ^ ^ ^ ^ ^ ^ ^ ^ ^ ^ ^ ^ ^ ^ ^ ^ ^ ^ ^ ^ ^ ^ ^ ^ ^ ^ ^ ^ ^ ^ ^ ^ ^ ^ ^ ^ ^ ^ ^ ^ ^ ^ ^ ^ ^ ^ ^ ^ ^ ^ ^ ^ ^ ^ ^ ^ ^ ^ ^ ^ ^ ^ ^ ^ ^ ^ ^ ^ ^ ^ ^ ^ ^ ^ ^ ^ ^ ^ ^ ^ ^ ^ ^ ^ ^ ^ ^ ^ ^ ^ ^ ^ ^ ^ ^ ^ ^ ^ ^ ^ ^ ^ ^ ^ ^ ^ ^ ^ ^ ^ ^ ^ ^ ^ ^ ^ ^ ^ ^ ^ ^ ^ ^ ^ ^ ^ ^ ^ ^ ^ ^ ^ ^ ^ ^ ^ ^ RE: ... * SOME EXAMPLES OF VENUES/LOCATIONS WHERE RAE HAS GIGGED * ... --------------- - ALADINOS NIGHTCLUB (on stage )- SAN AGUSTIN - GRAN CANARIA - *** PONTINENTAL 4 * (on stage ) COSTA DEL SOL - *** HOTEL ARGUINEGUIN - ARGUINEGUIN - GRAN CANARIA - *** HOTEL COSMOPOLITAN - MALLORCA - *** HOTEL BALI - MALLORCA - *** REMBRANDT BAR/NIGHTCLUB/RESTAURANT - LONDON - *** PIGALLE NIGHTCLUB (on stage) - LONDON W1 - *** PIANO LOUNGE - SOUTH EAST - (VERY UPMARKET TRENDY 'IN CROWD' CELEBRITY RESTAURANT) - *** CLUB ONE ASCOT (on stage supporting ANDY ABRAHAMS X factor) - ASCOT *** - MARRIOTT HOTEL WESTMINSTER IN LIBRARY ROOM located at RIVER THAMES LONDON - *** HOTEL EXCEL NOVOTEL 4 * located at LONDON DOCKLANDS - *** THE EDGE (on stage and black tie dinner jazz) - located at LONDON W1 - *** GREENWICH YACHT CLUB (ON STAGE) - located at RIVER THAMES - LONDON - *** THAI SILK ENTERTAIMENT AVENUE - 02 LONDON (on stage located at famous 02 London) - *** ROYAL OAK SOUTH EAST RESTAURANT - *** 'THE LONDON' EXCLUSIVE GOLF CLUB (dinner jazz) - *** MAXIMS CASINO (on stage) - South East - *** AVENIDAS - RESTAURANT/NIGHTCLUB - SOUTH EAST (on stage) - *** PLUS NUMEROUS OTHER RESTAURANTS/PRIVATE MEMBERS CLUBS/PRIVATE PARTIES ETC... ^ ^ ^ ^ ^ ^ ^ ^ ^ ^ ^ ^ ^ ^ ^ ^ ^ ^ ^ ^ ^ ^ ^ ^ ^ ^ ^ ^ ^ ^ ^ ^ ^ ^ ^ ^ ^ ^ ^ ^ ^ ^ ^ ^ ^ ^ ^ ^ ^ ^ ^ ^ ^ ^ ^ ^ ^ ^ ^ ^ ^ ^ ^ ^ ^ ^ ^ ^ ^ ^ ^ ^ ^ ^ ^ ^ ^ ^ ^ ^ ^ ^ ^ ^ ^ ^ ^ ^ ^ ^ ^ ^ ^ ^ ^ ^ ^ ^ ^ ^ ^ ^ ^ ^ ^ ^ ^ ^ ^ ^ ^ ^ ^ ^ ^ ^ ^ ^ ^ ^ ^ ^ ^ ^ ^ ^ ^ ^ ^ ^ ^ ^ ^ ^ ^ ^ ^ ^ ^ ^ ^ ^ ^ ^ ^ ^ ^ ^ ^ ^ ^ ^ ^ ^ ^ ^ ^ ^ ^ ^ ^ ^ ^ ^ ^ ^ ^ ^ ^ ^ RE : ... * RAES' CURRENT PERFORMANCE INFO * ... --------------- Rae is currently performing SOLO SELF CONTAINED, using 300watt YAMAHA award winning PA system and excellent jazz/soul/blues backing tracks. Repertoire is around 3 hours (usual gig time for bookings is 90 mins ie. 3 x 30 mins or 2 x 45 mins). Examples of songs within repertoire are listed on this page, but the playlist is constantly being updated, so please contact Rae regarding any specific song requests/genres. Raes' music is ideal for the 'cocktail and canapes' and 'liquers and lullabys' classy vibe. ^ ^ ^ ^ ^ ^ ^ ^ ^ ^ ^ ^ ^ ^ ^ ^ ^ ^ ^ ^ ^ ^ ^ ^ ^ ^ ^ ^ ^ ^ ^ ^ ^ ^ ^ ^ ^ ^ ^ ^ ^ ^ ^ ^ ^ ^ ^ ^ ^ ^ ^ ^ ^ ^ ^ ^ ^ ^ ^ ^ ^ ^ ^ ^ ^ ^ ^ ^ ^ ^ ^ ^ ^ ^ ^ ^ ^ ^ ^ ^ ^ ^ ^ ^ ^ ^ ^ ^ ^ ^ ^ ^ ^ ^ ^ ^ ^ ^ ^ ^ ^ ^ ^ ^ ^ ^ ^ ^ ^ ^ ^ ^ ^ ^ ^ ^ ^ ^ ^ ^ ^ ^ ^ ^ ^ ^ ^ ^ ^ ^ ^ ^ ^ ^ ^ ^ ^ ^ ^ ^ ^ ^ ^ ^ ^ ^ ^ ^ ^ ^ ^ ^ ^ ^ ^ ^ ^ ^ ^ ^ ^ ^ ^ ^ ^ ^ ^ ^ ^ ^ Therefore, as Rae has lived and worked in Spain/Canaries and duetted with a Latin performer, given the words she can sing Spanish with decent pronounciation with no problem....(eg. last verse of Autumn Leaves on demo attached)... ^ ^ ^ ^ ^ ^ ^ ^ ^ ^ ^ ^ ^ ^ ^ ^ ^ ^ ^ ^ ^ ^ ^ ^ ^ ^ ^ ^ ^ ^ ^ ^ ^ ^ ^ ^ ^ ^ ^ ^ ^ ^ ^ ^ ^ ^ ^ ^ ^ ^ ^ ^ ^ ^ ^ ^ ^ ^ ^ ^ ^ ^ ^ ^ ^ ^ ^ ^ ^ ^ ^ ^ ^ ^ ^ ^ ^ ^ ^ ^ ^ ^ ^ ^ ^ ^ ^ ^ ^ ^ ^ ^ ^ ^ ^ ^ ^ ^ ^ ^ ^ ^ ^ ^ ^ ^ ^ ^ ^ ^ ^ ^ ^ ^ ^ ^ ^ ^ ^ ^ ^ ^ ^ ^ ^ ^ ^ ^ ^ ^ ^ ^ ^ ^ ^ ^ ^ ^ ^ ^ ^ ^ ^ ^ ^ ^ ^ ^ ^ ^ ^ ^ ^ ^ ^ ^ ^ ^ ^ ^ ^ ^ ^ ^ ^ ^ ^ ^ ^ ^ Raes' audiences always comment on the 100% emotion she gives to her performance to enable the meaning of the words of each song to reach the listeners. Her voice has been described by experienced professionals as "warm", "smooth", "rich tone", "tender", "sultry", "seductive", and also "clear and strong". Any agents, musicians and producers requiring this type of vocal for their projects, Rae would be keen to hear from you. Rae also 'raunches' up the vocal for more upbeat numbers if required (versatile repertoire). Rae is currently living in London but would also be happy to perform overseas on short term contracts subject to venue and location.(EUROPE, some parts of the FAR EAST , DUBAI and STATES would all be considered) ^ ^ ^ ^ ^ ^ ^ ^ ^ ^ ^ ^ ^ ^ ^ ^ ^ ^ ^ ^ ^ ^ ^ ^ ^ ^ ^ ^ ^ ^ ^ ^ ^ ^ ^ ^ ^ ^ ^ ^ ^ ^ ^ ^ ^ ^ ^ ^ ^ ^ ^ ^ ^ ^ ^ ^ ^ ^ ^ ^ ^ ^ ^ ^ ^ ^ ^ ^ ^ ^ ^ ^ ^ ^ ^ ^ ^ ^ ^ ^ ^ ^ ^ ^ ^ ^ ^ ^ ^ ^ ^ ^ ^ ^ ^ ^ ^ ^ ^ ^ ^ ^ ^ ^ ^ ^ ^ ^ ^ ^ ^ ^ ^ ^ ^ ^ ^ ^ ^ ^ ^ ^ ^ ^ ^ ^ ^ ^ ^ ^ ^ ^ ^ ^ ^ ^ ^ ^ ^ ^ ^ ^ ^ ^ ^ ^ ^ ^ ^ ^ ^ ^ ^ ^ ^ ^ ^ ^ ^ ^ ^ ^ ^ ^ ^ ^ ^ ^ ^ ^ RE : ... * A BIT ABOUT THE DEMO CD * ... --------------- The demo cd produced in 06 with 2nd mix JUST being released for promo to Agents/Record Company Producers/Event Organisers/Conference & Banqueting organisers/Cruise Ship Entertainment Directors for Spring /Summer of 07.

Due to limited studio time 12 songs were laid down in just a few hours,. 6 were chosen to tell a story of love, ... yearning and searching, finding & accepting, realising & rejecting the reality & finally... reflecting & missing ..... ^ ^ ^ ^ ^ ^ ^ ^ ^ ^ ^ ^ ^ ^ ^ ^ ^ ^ ^ ^ ^ ^ ^ ^ ^ ^ ^ ^ ^ ^ ^ ^ ^ ^ ^ ^ ^ ^ ^ ^ ^ ^ ^ ^ ^ ^ ^ ^ ^ ^ ^ ^ ^ ^ ^ ^ ^ ^ ^ ^ ^ ^ ^ ^ ^ ^ ^ ^ ^ ^ ^ ^ ^ ^ ^ ^ ^ ^ ^ ^ ^ ^ ^ ^ ^ ^ ^ ^ ^ ^ ^ ^ ^ ^ ^ ^ ^ ^ ^ ^ ^ ^ ^ ^ ^ ^ ^ ^ ^ ^ ^ ^ ^ ^ ^ ^ ^ ^ ^ ^ ^ ^ ^ ^ ^ ^ ^ ^ ^ ^ ^ ^ ^ ^ ^ ^ ^ ^ ^ ^ ^ ^ ^ ^ ^ ^ ^ ^ ^ ^ ^ ^ ^ ^ ^ ^ ^ ^ ^ ^ ^ ^ ^ ^ ^ ^ ^ ^ ^ ^ The Six Tracks from The Changing Moods of Love are ... --------------- THE VERY THOUGHT OF YOU - LOOK OF LOVE - WAY YOU LOOK TONIGHT - MY MAN (MON HOMME) - CRY ME A RIVER - AUTUMN LEAVES - (bonus track 'You've Changed' available on Request ...)-all 6 tracks are currently uploaded to this website (playlist may be altered from time to time on the site) - correct at time of edit - Nov. ------------- The outcome of limited studio time has resulted in a very 'organic' demo, ie. no clever tricks, no re-recording of verses & the track being laid down on 1st or 2nd take, so its very indicative of a 'live' performance. Rae had only heard the backing tracks the day before, so there was extremely limited time to get comfortable with the backing tracks ^ ^ ^ ^ ^ ^ ^ ^ ^ ^ ^ ^ ^ ^ ^ ^ ^ ^ ^ ^ ^ ^ ^ ^ ^ ^ ^ ^ ^ ^ ^ ^ ^ ^ ^ ^ ^ ^ ^ ^ ^ ^ ^ ^ ^ ^ ^ ^ ^ ^ ^ ^ ^ ^ ^ ^ ^ ^ ^ ^ ^ ^ ^ ^ ^ ^ ^ ^ ^ ^ ^ ^ ^ ^ ^ ^ ^ ^ ^ ^ ^ ^ ^ ^ ^ ^ ^ ^ ^ ^ ^ ^ ^ ^ ^ ^ ^ ^ ^ ^ ^ ^ ^ ^ ^ ^ ^ ^ ^ ^ ^ ^ ^ ^ ^ ^ ^ ^ ^ ^ ^ ^ ^ ^ ^ ^ ^ ^ ^ ^ ^ ^ ^ ^ ^ ^ ^ ^ ^ ^ ^ ^ ^ ^ ^ ^ ^ ^ ^ ^ ^ ^ ^ ^ ^ ^ ^ ^ ^ ^ ^ ^ ^ ^ ^ ^ ^ ^ ^ ^ RE: ... * HEARING DEMO AT IT'S BEST ADVANTAGE AND DOWNLOADING * ... --------------- If you download the attached music to disc and play on decent car system or hi fi on full bass treble and volume you'll the the true 'live/organic' effect rather than listening through a computer sound card. Through the computer the sound will be better via 'earphone' attachment. By request, from musicians and professionals looking for entertainment for your venue, Rae's happy to email mp3s by attachment or post a demo cd to you.
