“What do you think about plastic surgery?” the record executive asked her. “We love your music, we love your sound, But the market wants petite and blond.” With a smile,  Marce politely picked up her guitar and walked out. She hasn’t looked back since.

“A Folksinger On a Mission”, Marce has successfully toured the Eastern United States, packing venues everywhere she goes.  When she sings solo, her words and music make you feel like you  are getting a private concert in your living room. With her band, she takes an honest message and moves your body and feet to the rhythm of her songs. 

In February,  May and September of 2006 , Marce was named the Folk Category Winner for “Song of the Year”, sponsoring VH-1 “Save The Music” Foundation.  A reviewer for the contest said that Marce “takes the listener into a state of sensuality. Both melody and voice have the power that will make you remember the song and the performance.” Show after show confirms the fact that Marce’s music and her honesty touch a chord deep within her audience

Raised between the United States and Colombia, she’s seen enough war to develop a healthy sarcastic edge and enough love to make her a romantic! Her motto is “Start a Revolution Where You Are!”and she continues to live up to it by staying true to herself with every word she sings.

Marce learned the piano at age 8, composed her first song at age 9, picked up the guitar at 15, and has been performing and writing ever since. Her professional music career began after much prompting from friends and family, actively seeking to “get her songs out there!” She was asked to write a song for a production of the Vagina Monologues in Miami. The single, “D is for Denial” became an instant hit with locals! In response to the demand, she self-produced her debut album, “Marce” in 2002 and sold out within two weeks!

Her fan base continued to grow at her home college: Florida International University, and rehearsal/jam sessions in the student Union became standing-room only events. Soon enough, she was playing regular gigs around town accompanied by Lee Pugh on the congas and Jian Beckford on the bass.

In 2002, she graduated Summa Cum Laude with a Bachelor’s Degree in Women’s Studies and a minor in History.  Many of her songs reflect her focus on the untold stories of everyday women.

She was a finalist in the Independent Music Awards and received an Honorable Mention in the USA Singer Songwriter Awards. In October of 2008, Marce performed for a crowd of over 600 people to celebrate the limited release of her newest album, Piece of Mind. 

“Piece of Mind” was a labor of love that spanned four years and three continents. Bringing together talent from all over the world, this album was recorded in Colombia, mixed and mastered in London and released in Gainesville!  Each of the songs on the album has a spirit of its own and Marce describes it as one of the greatest achievements in her life. 

Most recently, Marce has continued to write songs and perform with her outstanding band, Denise Burnsed on the bass and Nadav Mer on the guitar.
