Marsha Breaks Into US Market

Zambian songbird Marsha Moyo continues to break new ground with the latest achievement of her debut album Dark Child this week officially entering the US market. Through Los Angeles based company Indie 911 the album finally enters the most sought after entertainment market, upon the recent signing of a licensing, agents and promotion deal. Pleased with the development, Marsha acknowledges that the US market is the toughest market to penetrate but believes that this is a step in the right direction. The US deal further offers Marsha new and increased opportunities for promotion and exposure and she now hopes and further expects other songs on the album to have a wider platform in which to grow, while setting the stage for the release of her future material.

Since its initial release, the 14-track pop, jazz, r'n'b, soul album, on which Marsha wrote and composed 12 of the songs has grown from strength to strength. In May this year, her Dark Child music video entered premier music video channel MTV, while the album earned Marsha a SAMA music nomination for Best African Artist 2003 and two Kora All Africa Music awards 2003 for the track Heaven's Watching. The Dark Child album further spurned several radio hits such as Next of Kin, Carpe Diem, Mexican Standoff and the RFI (Radio France Internationale) compilation CD song Pamodzi. The debut album has also taken Marsha to perform at FESPAM in Congo Brazzaville, Arts Alive in Johannesburg, South Africa and as the first recording artist and African, at the world's only seven star hotel the Burj-al-arab in Dubai, UAE.
Initially released in South Africa by Sheer Sound in September 2002, the album is distributed continentally through Sony/BMG and is further available in the UK under the label New Note.
