Ep. 285 - Marqueza

On today’s very special episode of Songmess we’re sitting down with singer, songwriter and producer Marina Marqueza, who’s calling in from Salt Lake City Utah! We’re diving into her prolific catalogue ranging from deep cuts like her synthpop-inspired debut LP Orbit Pluto to her brand new R&B-flavored EP, Omizu Diosa. Marqueza is half Japanese and half Venezuelan and sings in three languages, so today’s conversation is covering a lot of ground including her artistic journey, religion, identifying as Asian Latinx, queer bating, POC arts circles in SLC and perhaps a few too many drinks… This is one of our most fun interviews of 2021 thus far, so pour yourself a cocktail and enjoy our wonderful conversation and the soulful grooves. Playlist: Marqueza, Toto Peña, Jazzy Olivo, Arca and Omar Apollo.
