You hear her once – and you don’t forget. Marla Moya sings with a raw warmth and clear emotionality. Her songs are honest, unpretentious, and carry a quiet intensity – both timeless and rooted in the now. Her music echoes legends like Fleetwood Mac or Harry Nilsson, while resonating with the spirit of contemporary indie artists such as Angel Olsen and Weyes Blood. In recent years, Marla toured around the world with her former partner as Marla & David Celia – playing over 1,000 shows, including performances at Glastonbury Festival, Mariposa Folk Festival and live sessions at the BBC. A new chapter begins: under the name Marla Moya, she’s set to release her debut solo album Sanguine Soul in November via Backseat, produced by her life long idol Robert Francis in Los Angeles. These songs trace the arc of transformation – of letting go, rediscovering oneself, facing fear, and holding onto hope. Her songs are both intimate and expansive – they open emotional spaces while staying grounded.
