is currently promoting the new CD and has a concert with her band

She is also a member of Prince's band.
Marva King grew up in Flint, MI. Singer, songwriter, musician,
actress, dancer, and producer Marva King has been performing with
major artists since the age of 13. Marva was nurtured by a family of
entertainers with gospel, classical, and secular music. Her mother,
who is a vocal and piano teacher, between touring, nourished and
influenced Marva's skills. No doubt her mother and father's training
was extremely instrumental in the development of Marva's innumerable
talents. Some of those who have acknowledged Marva's God given
talents, and have worked with her include the likes of Micheal
Jackson, Phil Collins, Stevie Wonder, Seal, Lenny Kravitz, Jimmie
Cliff, Qunicy Jones, Whitney Houston, D'Angelo, Eric Benet, Jimmie Jam
and Terry Lewis, Teddy Riley, Johnny Gill, Lionel Richie, Pattie
LaBelle, Chaka Khan, Julio Inglesias, Anita Baker, Babyface, Andre
Couch, Shaggy, and many more.
Marva's musical creativityand interests ranges from gospel ,to jazz,
to r&b,to funk & rock, to hip-hop. She gained numerous fans by
co-writing a #1 single for the Whispers titled "Innocent", as well as
songs for various other artists.
Marva created a buzz for herself when she began to sing, dance, and
play percussions for N.P.G.(New Power Generation), the back-up band
for "Prince". To most, her energy and excitement as a live performing
artist was validated when she dove into the audience while performing
at the famed "Hippodrome" in London, England. Her reviews from the
time she spent with Prince and N.P.G. proved that the critics were
seeing what the insiders knew all along. Larry Flick of Billboard
magazine said "Marva King is a supreme Diva, and her name will go down
in history as one of the best." Her sensual dance movements left the
audiences spellbound and her dynamic vocal talents left them speechless.
Marva has taken audiences by storm in her stunning role as "Helen",
the lead in the hit musical play "Diary Of A Mad Black Woman", which
has been in theatres across the country since January, 2001.
Marva was nominated and won Best Neo-soul Live Performer and Best
Neo-soul Artist at the R&B Soul Music Awards 2003 in Los Angeles.
It is time for this mystic beauty to share her gifts with the world .
Marva King's energy is contagious and she is a great entertainment
experience!
