Born and raised on the South Side of Chicago, Marla Glen has been in the music business for over 30 years, with no plans on stopping any time soon! At the age of 5, at a neighborhood birthday party, Marla received a plastic toy harmonica given to her by the late great Muddy Waters.  Marla fell in love with playing the tiny instrument, learning to master it even as a child.  By the time Marla was a teenager, the musically gifted artist had begun to play other musical instruments which including the Drums, Spanish Guitar, Congas, Clarinet and other wind instruments.

The artist received radio airplay throughout the Europe, parts of the United States and was offered TV shows, movies, commercials, and other musical opportunities. In 1995, the song Believer was used for a commercial of the clothing company C & A. And, in 2000/2001 Marla’s remake of James Brown hit, “It’s A Man’s World.” was used in a commercial for men’s fragrance Tabac.  Following the success of hit records came the tours, and Marla graced many stages all over Europe gaining fans in Germany, Austria and Switzerland and other areas around the globe.

After achieving success, the singer was taken through a series of career highs and lows,  but through it all, the artist still continued to make amazing music, and produces albums like “Dangerous” in 2006, and “Humanology,”  in 2011.  The artist did not stop delivering kick ass concerts that kept the artist working for the music.  Marla is a survivor, who is original in every way, and Marla continues to wow audiences wearing a trademark suit and tie, funky hats and giving high-energy shows to a loyal fans.
