Description
At the age of 9, with five years of piano studies under her belt, Marianne Aya-Omac discovered the music of Joan Baez and shifted her focus to the guitar. A natural composer, singer and songwriter, Aya-Omac later developed a unique style, perfected during a stint busking on the streets of France, that blends flamenco, gospel, gypsy and folk music. In 2009, Baez agreed to record with Aya-Omac and has since become one of her most vocal supporters, saying, "We will soon see her bright light, which has been traveling under the radar for too long, rise to become the rightful star she is destined to be."
