SoundClick artist: MMissary - MMissary - a husband and wife team. More Country to Country Rock/Light Pop. We Are ALL A WORK IN PRO

Marty and Marcella equal MMissary. More songwriters and musicians than performers who wish to share their songs and music. Christian Songwriting is our main focus though Marty does do
instrumental arrangements. Marty is a former Administrator for the Christian Songwriting Org and has written articles for the Christian Magazine "Songwriting The Journal". Marty has and does collaborate with other songwriters. Marty has spoken at songwriting workshops. Marty is also a retired Music Director and still participates in his church choir.

Imperfect as we are we receive good comments and have seen some usage of our works by others. After all.."We are all a work in progress".

Why this name?

Both our names start with M and songs we sing, ours or others share a message. So MMissary signifies the two of us as one, for the One, in the One as messengers of song that we hope you enjoy and touch you in a special way.

Do you play live?

We haven't played live in some time due to my physical limitations from back suregery a few years ago though we are willing to do short programs. I use to play and teach long before we were married but settled down to just a few events and directing choirs and other such things after we were married. I always enjoy playing. I still sing and play in our church choir though I no longer direct.

How, do you think, does the internet (or mp3) change the music industry?

Not sure it changes anything other than it now allows us to present our music to others in the hopes others will find it meaningful and useful, enjoyable and memorable.

Would you sign a record contract with a major label?

Depends on the contract. We turned down one some years ago because we would not have had control over the material we did.

Your influences?

I always have enjoyed Glen Campbel; Paul Stokey; Maranatha; and others that were more into acoustic music, folk, and light pop or rock. I play guitar and some keyboard. Although my own kids put me to shame at times.:-)

Favorite spot?

I like the quiet forrests and lakes of mountains.

Equipment used:

I play a Dillion Acoustic Electric Guitar and an Ibanez 12-string. I also use a Roland XP50 keyboard for background accompaniment when needed.

Anything else...?
