For Marla Lewis, music is a way of life. She began singing as soon as she learned to talk! At the age of 3, she sang on a national radio talent show called, “Live Like a Millionaire”. She started piano lessons at the age of 5 and guitar a few years later.
As a child, Marla loved to sing songs in many languages from around the world. Her mother, also a singer, introduced her to jazz, Dixieland, and opera. Marla also fell in love with folk and pop music. She wrote her first song at the age of 12, entitled, “Hopeless Love.” It still makes her friends chuckle.
Today, when kids hear Marla's songs, they say:
"Can we hear that AGAIN??"
Dear Marla;
Although you may be aware by now that you have won 3rd Prize in the Children's category with your colorful story song "Mighty Jackie (The Strikeout Queen" I still wanted to contact you and offer my personal Congratulations!!!!!

I must tell you that as the father of a year round high level club soccer daughter , and a fan of the movie " A League of Their Own", I was completely riveted to your lyrics as it unfolded. And the music wasn't bad either. In fact, as a veteran 25 year songwriter myself , the highest compliment I can pay you is to say I wish I'd written it myself. And coming in 3rd in one of our most competitive categories traditionally, with over 300 entries in that category alone in this current edition, was surely no small feat either. I hope you can take that fact as the creative validation of your obvious talent it is meant to be and let it resonate for a while. "
