MIKO MARKS
Flint, Michigan-motor city's kin-is where Miko Marks began to define her singer-songwriter passions. Throughout her adolescence, she was further encouraged and thus gained a wide variety of enriching experiences utilizing her natural vocal talent. Over years, thousands have been touched by Miko's powerful, crisp, vocals.
Attending Louisiana's Grambling State University on a music scholarship proved very rewarding for Miko. While at GSU, Miko was enthralled with country music and its story telling. She felt as if the stories were universal and she had some to tell of her own. As she continued through college, her love of country music never faded and by fate, she became friends and collaborated with another talented Gramblinite, Erykah Badu.
By Graduation, she found herself swept away from the rural tranquil backwoods of Simsboro, Louisiana, to the "hustle and bustle" of city life in the San Francisco Bay Area. This extreme change incited ample inspiration for the start of her songwriting career. Her first song, "Find My Way Home" was written during this pivotal period. Shortly thereafter, she cut a demo at the legendary Fantasy Recording Studios, in Berkeley California. It led to the recording of her very first album.
Nowadays, Miko spends much of her leisure time in the studio experimenting with her own unique blend of country soul, playing gigs and immersing herself in country music. Gaining a broader understanding of the great impact Gospel and Rhythm & Blues have had on the foundation of American Country Music has fueled her motivation. She finds it extremely exciting to finding her own reflection at the root of what she loves.
What can we expect next from Miko? This year, she will debut her first CD, Miko Marks "Freeway Bound", which was recorded in Nashville with Producer, Ron Cornelius and will be released independently by Mirrome Records Inc., of Oakland California.
Whatever the case, Miko Marks is 100% guaranteed to turn heads with her vocal prowess and her bold jump into a genre that has never seen the likes of someone with her style and appeal. Just one listen and you will know that this girl is special! As she continues to mature as a singer-songwriter and performer, it's believed that destiny will lead this trailblazer to her dreams of collaborating with music's best talent, to produce timeless, legendary tracks, as Miko Marks "The Soul of Country".

    1ST heard about Miko Marks in Ebony Magazine and glad I just went ahead and purchased her album. Really enjoyed it and wish they would play her music on the radio. Beautiful voice, beautiful music. Thank you

  • Fantastic album with a Godgiven voice!!
    author: Tormod Uleberg(Radio Loland, Norway)

    This CD tells us that we have to deal with one of the greatest big voices in country music for years! Miko Marks has written most of the material herself. What a splendid record! What a performer! Here we must have a new superstar!

  • Fantastic!
    author: Mike Johnson

    Miko is Fantastic! It's not often now days that you hear a refreshing new voice that is genuinely country. No pretense here. Miko is destined to go far! Keep it Country Miko, you've got my vote!

  • Great voice, Good Sound, Fresh all that and she looks good to!
    author: Robert E. Handley

    This is a great CD all the songs not just one. It's sad that you can't find it in any of the stores. Best Buy did not have it listed, even some of the on line CD sellers. A new artist can be lost because of this type of promotion. Thanks CD Baby for having it in stock and in my hads in four days. If you like country music don't miss this CD. It's a must. I hope we hear more from Ms. Marks.

  • Great voice, great music great songs
    author: T.C. Howard

    Miko Marks is a fresh sound in country music that I just recently discovered but will continue to follow. All of the songs are great but I have a soft spot for the song "Mama" right now as my favorite. I have not heard this on my local radio station yet but I'm going to request it over and over as she should be heard by all country fans as well as fans of other genres of music. I am waiting for the opportunity to see her perform live.

  • I've seen and heard an Angel on Earth!
    author: Tracy James

    I have never once, heard country music sound so pure & natural, and by a young woman who is as cute as a button, no less. I love the music and have asked my friends all over the country to purchase the CD. I've requested to hear it on the radio, also. My favorites are tracks 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9 & 10 on the Freeway Bound album. Actually, to me, all are #1 hits. Thanks for taking the time for us, Miko, The Lonely Ones! With her beauty, talent and down to earth demeanor, Miko's music career will fly as high as the Heavens above and beyond. Stay excited for all your loyal fans! Much Love, Tracy James- San Francisco, California
