Selena Mars
"Selena Mars is one of the few artists operating today whose songs create a complete world of their own. Her intoxicating music is rhythmic, bluesy and dreamy. As such it is both modern and timeless- as her astute lyrics.” "Discover her now!" -Phil Strongman, Hi-fi Choice Magazine Selena Mars is a multi-talented artist, an accomplished actress and singer who is now expanding her already impressive CV to include songwriter. This is no vacuous claim as Mars (who calls both London and New York City home), lets rip on her first solo project. Her distinctly sultry, raspy voice and introspective lyrics have her poised to make a startling impact on the alternative and indie pop scene on both sides of the Atlantic. Selena's unusual voice has grabbed the attention of producers like Chiba Antoine (Amy Winehouse/Destiny's Child), Talvin Singh, Chris Flam (Public Enemy, Korn) for Rawkus Records and presently Derek O’Brien of Social Distortion. Her influences include Bjork, Nina Simone, Radiohead, Massive Attack, Grace Jones, and the Pixies to include a few. Mars' lyrics are very powerful drawn from experiences both happy and less so. The music is a blend of retro rock, catchy pop hooks, even jazz. "I won't be put into any boxes!" Selena says. "I'm much better at doing my own thing than trying to conform. At the end of the day I have to be true to myself."
