La Marisoul

La Marisoul was born in DTLA (downtown LA), the diverse and vibrant heart of Los Angeles. Her first introduction to music was by way of her mother’s singing and her father’s love of music. At an early age, she began to interpret various musical styles, ranging from traditional Mexican songs, romantic boleros, jazz classics and rock. Growing up part time in Mexico and the United States created the duality of American pop culture and the roots of traditional folkloric music, which helped shaped her musical sensibility.


In 2007, La Marisoul became the lead singer for the group; La Santa Cecilia (named after the Patron Saint of musicians). La Santa Cecilia have performed at just about every type of venue from rock clubs to festivals in the US and Mexico, including Walt Disney Hall and the Hollywood Bowl in LA.


In 2014 La Santa Cecilia won the Grammy for Best Latin Rock Album for their album ‘Treinta Dias’ (Universal Music). In 2017 they were nominated in the same category for their album ‘Buenaventura ‘(Universal Music) and in 2018 for ‘Amar Y Vivir’ (Universal Music). With 6 albums under their belt, La Santa Cecilia are currently at work on their 7th album, to be released this year (2019).


La Marisoul has made acting appearances in; The Bridge (2013), Artbound Presents: Studio A (2013) and Mavericks (2015). She was also featured as a guest performer on Pepe Aguilar’s MTV Unplugged, which turned out to be the first Unplugged by a Ranchero artist.
