Marianne Turner’s debut album Let Her Let Go is beautifully wrapped with captivating lyrics and a voice that embodies both strength and vulnerability. Grown from a myriad of personal rifts, Turner’s music is fundamentally based on personal and intense conflicts, including her insatiable search for self-identity stemming from being an adopted child, and her acute and aggressive struggle and recovery from anorexia and bulimia. The strength with which she approaches these conflicts has enabled her to produce compelling and passionate tunes that satisfy today’s ever-changing pop market. Raw and unique, her glamorous and alternative pop folk sound is driven by her soulful and confessional lyrics, all of which are powerfully intimate yet immediately accessible.
Marianne Turner was born in Ottawa, Canada, as were her two sisters and younger brother. Her biological history is a mix of African (Kenya) and French Canadian roots, and she was raised in Muskoka and North Bay, Ontario. Today she is rooted in Toronto, where her exciting, self-penned and relatable tunes have culminated in an emotionally charged performance. Since the release of Let Her Let Go, produced by Juno-Nominated Douglas Romanow, Turner continues to see praise steered in her direction. Nominated in the Toronto Independent Music Awards for Best Live Artist, she has also had a consistent national presence on Canada’s own CBC Radio. Turner has recently climbed to #23 on Toronto’s Canadian CIUT Music Charts, while she continues to be embraced both by her live audience and the media in markets toured.
Recently showcased at the COCA Regional Central Conference and touring College and University campuses, Turner has also been supported by her Canadian music funding industry and has been awarded by FACTOR in each of her Demo and Showcase endeavors. Her influences range from artist to author, including Imogen Heap, Alanis Morissette, Herman Hesse and Ayn Rand, and are immediately recognizable in her intelligent lyrics and stirring emotional performances. With several years of preparation and a strong debut release, it is clear that Marianne Turner is an artist to watch for.
