About marcie.mycroft
British Indie-Pop singer/songwriter/musician with debut album 'Valid' available at Amazon (January 2014)
I've been writing songs and playing guitar in bands since I was 16 but had so many other strings to my bow that took over and a few other issues to deal with, that for the last stupid number of years music took a back seat, even though it was always my first love.
I've never been brave enough to be a front singer before but was always a songwriter and bit part guitarist and (very basic) piano player writing the songs and adding a few "ooh" and "aahh" backing vocals to choruses.
I went on holiday to Croatia in late October 2012 and had not played seriously for over 5 years but from nowhere I had 10 songs in my head virtually finished like in a dream. I always believed I could sing my own songs pretty well and decided to finish them on my guitar when I got back to the UK and maybe record them as a test album for some fun. After all, if I was just singing in my bedroom then I was safe and there's only me to beat myself up. But now, somebody close to me who has heard my songs developing told me I should actually let people hear them and I should start to take this seriously so Marcie Mycroft was born and I'm a little braver now :)
My first 'album' private collection "Partially Estranged Babygirl" was made in April 2013. Why "Partially Estranged Babygirl'? The lyric is in one of my songs and describes how I am. I have an immaturity and wild enthusiasm so I'm always flitting from project to project whilst never being totally perfect.
My first official album 'Valid' was released online for download on 4th January 2014, and I am now spending two months working on my live set for some shows in 2014.
