Marella Motta

singer and songwriter

after a long silence it’s time to play

My name is Marella and I’m a singer. Even if I talk a lot all I want to say I say it by singing. Music is my refuge, my strength, my distance from the world, my extreme closeness.

I have memories of different languages, sounds from faraway places, a Mal d’Afrique that has been running through the veins of my family for generations, a bond with music that perceives the distant, the warm as more familiar. Hotter than July on the record player, the singers voices reflected by my mother’s sensibility.

“Soul music is pure emotion free to fly out of any kind of scheme or construction. That’s why I chose Marella Motta’s voice with her old-time elegance.”
