BALCONYTV TORONTO IS BROUGHT TO YOU IN ASSOCIATION WITH THE UNDERGROUND GARAGE
PRESENTED BY NOEL COPEMAN

FILMED DURING INDIE WEEK CANADA 2011!
Marta was born in Poland, raised in Australia and has been based in Toronto for the past three years. She has recently re-located to New York City. Her first recordings where written and recorded with Mark Seymour of the iconic Australian band Hunters & Collectors. Since her move to Canada, Marta has won Best International Single at the 2009 Barrie New Music Awards, opened for Mark Seymour on his 2009 Canadian tour, toured the US West Coast and has seen both her songwriting and fan base grow substantially.
In 2010, Marta toured the US Midwest with the band Vinyl Station (former Gin Blossom member), toured Italy, opened for David Cassidy in Phoenix and recorded her latest release Rebel Baby with 27 world-class musicians in three different countries. It was co-produced with Jason Mercer (Ani DiFranco & Ron Sexsmith) and Peirson Ross.
She topped off 2010 by performing a Christmas concert in Lecco, Italy backed by the Gala Orchestra of Milan in the 18th century Teatro Di Sociale.
Marta's intense and moody writing style has gained her attention in the Film & Television industry. Her song "In The Name Of Love" has been licensed for Canadian Director Devaashish Khanna's feature film Fondi 91. Marta's cover of Patty Griffin's "Nobody's Crying" was featured in the popular ABC/Global series Rookie Blue, seen by over 9 million viewers in the US, 2 million viewers in Canada and millions more worldwide (25+ countries).
Marta's song "Back To The Middle" was one of CBC's Mark Rheume's pick for Music For July. And she was Vapor Music's Artist Of The Week in August.
This past year Marta has had great success showcasing at CMW, ECMA Week and NXNE. She again toured the US Midwest and Eastern Canada and had great success at Indie Week, reaching the finals. Her song "A Girl Gets By" recently won Best Alt Country Song (National) at the Canberra Country Music Festival. And two of her songs made Mediazoic's Top 20 of 2011.
Since the release of her debut EP, Marta has evolved from songwriter to producer/arranger. The newfound honesty in her songs is more intimate, moody and human. She gently strums the emotional strings of all too familiar universal themes. In Rebel Baby, Marta has felt true human frailty and is sharing it with her listeners.
Rebel Baby will have its official release in May 2012.
