MARLYN

Born and raised in New York City, Marlyn grew up with the values of her Dominican ethnicity. At the early age of 11 she began her journey with a scholarship to "Urban Youth Theatre" in musical theater off Broadway. Discovering her talents and passion for the arts between theater and her church choir, Marlyn knew music was her calling.

In 2001 Marlyn was approached to sing with a Bachata group “NV” in which she became part of a trio lead. NV took the tri-state area and Europe by storm. Marlyn out-shined in her first recorded single with the group entitled "Don’t Speak” a Bachata re-make of No Doubts’ original pop hit. In early 2006 the group parted.

Before having time to rest, Marlyn was approached with the idea to form a female Bachata group with Judy Santos (former Aventura member). Girlz Talk would be the first female Bachata group taking everyone by surprise while bringing a female outlook to the male dominated genre. Girlz Talks’ singles such as “Esclava a Tu Querer” and “Lloraras” brought chaos to their devoted fan base whom praised them to the max leading them to Calle 8, Latina Magazine spreads and winning a contest "El Headliner"; showcasing their music video “Esclava a Tu Querer” on MTV Tr3s. 

In February of 2012 the duo parted as Marlyn continued Girlz Talk as a solo act touring in the U.S. Later in April 2012 the decision was made to pursue her career as a solo artist. In less than a year as a soloist, her single "Need You Now" (a cover of Lady Antebellums' #1 Country Hit) has been in the top 5 in CT; PA; Canada and has also made its way to the Latin Billboard Charts. Stay tuned for more of this Bachata Diva!
