Marissa Guzman is an award-winning American dance music singer, songwriter, producer, DJ, and multi instrumentalist. She was born in Los Angeles but raised in the suburbs of Detroit by her father, Eddie Guzman, who was a member of Motown's "Blue Eyed Soul" band, Rare Earth. Marissa decided to emulate her father's musical success after she quit her career in marketing to learn how to produce music in 2009. She later released "Time To Go," which was remixed by South Africa's superstar DJ, Black Coffee, and that made her an instant pop star there. Shortly after came her debut self produced album, "Joy Road" as well as the remix album on her label, Juicy Lucy, which the legendary Detroit DJ, Derrick May helped her to start. Because of her popularity in South Africa, Marissa collaborated with several other South African artists, like Liquideep, Black Motion, Qness and Cuebur, and every song became a number one hit there. Her collaboration, "No Doubt," with Cuebur on Defected Records rose to popularity in Europe after Pete Tong played Shlomi Aber's remix on his BBC Radio 1 show in London, England in 2013. Marissa also worked with world renowned DJ and Producer, Kerri Chandler on "Fifth Moon" (2012) and "Like A Feather,"(2016) and considers him to be a mentor. In 2015, Marissa entered her original production of "Time to Go" in the World Wide Music Contest not knowing that an original member of "The Police" was a judge, and she won 1st place. Stay tuned for her 2nd EP coming 2019!
