For Marla Lewis, music is a way of life. She began singing as soon as she learned to talk! At the age of 3, she sang on a national radio talent show called, “Live Like a Millionaire”. She started piano lessons at the age of 5 and guitar a few years later.
As a child, Marla loved to sing songs in many languages from around the world. Her mother, also a singer, introduced her to jazz, Dixieland, and opera. Marla also fell in love with folk and pop music. She wrote her first song at the age of 12, entitled, “Hopeless Love.” It still makes her friends chuckle.
Today, when kids hear Marla's songs, they say:
"Can we hear that AGAIN??"
Dear Marla,
Your songs always do so much to brighten up the quality of entries into our contest.
I was particularly happy to see "Children of Africa" do so well. I realize there's no actual prize money for Top 5 winners, but to support of your generous work with the organization we'd like to donate $100 to International Breast Milk Project on your behalf.
Again, congratulations on your brilliant songwriting!
All the best,Steve
