Press quotes

“Marla Mase’s Performance and Persona are seared in my mind forever. As one who shares her passion for human kindness and kindness to other living beings I was moved by the power of her message- the music, lyrics and the sheer primal energy of your movements on stage. I was also transfixed by Marla’s raw sensuality that by contrast made such performers as Madonna and Lady Gaga appear to have the sex appeal of a Mother Teresa. Yet somehow her message in a very different medium managed to evoke some of the same idealistic yearnings of the renowned daughter of Calcutta .” (UN delegate after seeing Marla perform in China)

“Since the beginning of the music industry, it’s been easy to see that there are at least two kinds of artists, and the main difference lies somewhere in the metaphysical realm of intention. Some artists have truly great ideas that resonate with others because they speak their truth. Others write music specifically to sell, and they’ll do anything to do so – including ignoring their hearts and spewing who-knows-what into the world. New York rock poet Marla Mase falls squarely into the former category.” (James Moore, Skope Magazine)

“Marla Mase is a name that resonates with almost everyone who has come in contact with her creativity. Her fans who have experienced her live performances and recorded music, refer to her as The Goddess. Her talents travel every avenue of creativity; she is a writer of poems, songs, shows, and erotica, most of all she is a confident and brave performer, effortlessly fusing the genres of rock, punk, spoken word and soul, creating a genre of her own.” (Sarah Betts, musika.uk.com)

“One word: FEARLESS! Raw… Enigmatic…Unapologetic…Unique. So, maybe one word is not enough to describe the “experience” that is Marla Mase. How is one expected to explain what I call: THE MARLA MASE EXPERIENCE? You can’t. It is equal parts: rock, rap, Broadway, monologue, Lilith Fair, blues, & dare I, a rocker chick, say I heard some good old guttural vocals on track #5 DFWME?”
- A. Bronwyn Sheehan, reallygreatmagazine.com (Feb 22, 2011)

mere glimpse into the genius of this emerging artist…. ”

“Ms. Mase’s music and stories will take you by the hand and lead you on a tour that is, at times, filled with ideas of romance and love straight off the proverbial movie screen; to fear, passion, and reality that will sometimes haul off and punch you in the gut with brutal honesty. Whether love her or hate her, Marla Mase will be the voice inside your head screaming at you to stand tall in the face of adversity.” Tom Ski, newsblaze.com (Mar 18, 2011)
