Marla Moya

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 and Mariposa Folk Fest.

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 biggest idol Robert Francis in Los Angeles at Arnwood Ranch Studio.
The band recorded live to tape - without a click track - a deliberate choice in favor of feel, space, and soul over perfection. Joining her are world-class musicians like Joachim Cooder and Doug Pettibone .
These songs trace the arc of transformation - of letting go, rediscovering oneself, facing fear, and holding onto hope. "Even though it doesn't feel like a classic love-song album to me," Marla says, "a golden thin thread runs through almost every track. Which makes sense - in the end, everything in life revolves around love."
Marla Moya's songs are both intimate and expansive - they open emotional spaces while staying grounded. In the end, you're never quite sure: is that a laugh or a cry?
