“Reggae music for your heart mind and soul”, an apt description of her music and an appropriate signature for singer/songwriter Marcia Davis. As a result Marcia’s pure talent and persuasive performance style has been captivating audiences on the New York live music circuit.

She has opened concerts for reggae greats such as Burning Spear, Mykal Rose, and Third World and has also shared the stage with other reggae legends, including; Gregory Isaacs, Luciano and the Abyssinians. Working constantly on her own blend of roots and lovers rock , Marcia has been able to incorporate her catchy originals and selected covers into a vibrant well produced stage performance not to be missed. Her soon-to-be released CD “The Pressure That Made The Diamond” is filled with lyrics that embrace many areas of life, all married to heartfelt reggae music – the real deal.

Born in Liverpool, England of Jamaican parents, Marcia Davis’s musical journey was primarily influenced by other musical family members. Her obvious talent bloomed at an early age and she was subsequently encouraged by teachers and peers alike to pursue a career in the creative field. A student of dance and theatre, Marcia received local accolades when by the age of 17 she had formed her own theatre company, Catalyst, and had written and published and performed two musical plays and several pieces of prose. Her first play Ella was performed to sold-out audiences at two renowned Liverpool theatres, The Liverpool Playhouse and the Everyman Theatre. This encouraged the enterprising Marcia to write more and she was soon DJ-ing and singing on local sound systems.
After emigrating to the US in 1987, Marcia’s passion for music and her business talent enabled her to work as Production Assistant/Booking Agent, for well-known reggae artists such as; John Holt, SuperCat, Trevor Sparks and Shaggy and Rayvon In the subsequent years, after taking time out to raise her family, Marcia continued to write and was soon ready to work with a band. After singing back-up and briefly fronting other reggae bands, she finally found her home with Marcia Davis & Outro comprised of transient members of her musical family.
Marcia’s dream is visibly clear when she emotes in her sultry contralto and her visionary lyrics and catchy beats have unlocked the door to a very promising future.
