Marva King
The exquisite voice of Marva King has filled studio A these past few months. Marva has been rehearsing for her upcoming tour to support her latest CD “Grown & Sexy”. The 1st single “Afro” is already being deemed a commercial Club and Radio hit.

Marva’s voice has been heard on the albums by the who’s who in rock from Phil Collins to Prince. She is an accomplished stage, movie and television actress and stared in the multimillion dollar-grossing stage production and DVD “Diary of a Mad Black Women”. Read more about Marva here.

Our good friend Will Clark was chosen by Marva to be her music director on the tour and Will has assembled a top notch crew of musicians. We are thankful and grateful to Will for using our facility on such an important project.
