“Marcia	 Howard's	 performance	 at	 our	 event	 was	 memorising.	 She	 is	 a	 beautiful	
musician,	 with	 lyrics	 and	 stories	 that	 match.	 Marcia	 was	 very	 easy	 to	 work	 with,	
engaging	with	the	audience	and	I	would	have	no	hesitation	in	recommending	her”.

"The	word	mastery	comes	to	mind	when	listening	to	Marcia	perform.	Her	songs	are	
whole	and	beautifully	crafted.	She	touches	the	essence	of	what	it	is	to	be	open.	She	can	
soothe	a	troubled	soul	and	remind	the	listener	that	no	one	is	alone	with	his	or	her	
feelings.	 I	 know	 too	 that	 she	 stands	 as	 a	 woman	 of	 her	 ancestral	 country	 and	 a	
custodian	of	the	culture	and	wisdom	of	the	land	of	her	birth.	Words	are	not	enough	to	
describe	this	soul...	I	love	listening	to	Marcia	sing.	Listen	and	be	carried”.	
	
Liam	O’Maonlai,	Hot	House	Flowers,	Ireland.
"In	my	5	years	as	Casting	&	Music	Producer	on	The	Voice	Australia,	I've	come	across	
thousands	of	Australian	singers,	and	Marcia	Howard	is	among	the	finest	of	them	all.	
Her	musicality,	connection	and	depth	of	experience	are	beyond	comparison.	It	was	an	
absolute	pleasure	and	delight	to	be	able	to	meet,	work	with	and	learn	from	Marcia	
during	her	time	on	The	Voice	Season	5."
