The World Of Marcia J Ball
When we migrated to Florida the group went their separate ways. Marcia's dream of pursuing her solo career never seized. She got her next big break when she performed in concert with J.C. Lodge, Admiral Bailey, Barrington Levy and Freddy McGregor to a crowd of approximately 10,000 people at Miami's Marine Stadium.
Her first single call “Tell Me” was released in 1990 by her brother and producer George (Meco7) Ball. She was approached by a disc jockey, John T of WAVS radio, who introduced her to one of Jamaica's biggest female vocalist, Marcia Griffiths. This was the beginning of a new era where Marcia's talent was being recognized as she became one of Ms. Griffiths' background vocalists. While on tour she met and shared the stage with other artists such as: Beres Hammond, Judy Mowatt, Dean Frazier, Glen Washington and many others. She has also shared stage and did background recordings for some of the great and late great ones such as: Dennis Brown, Alton Ellis, Gregory Isaacs, Sugar Minott and Stanley from the Turbines, Michael Rose, Nadine Sutherland, George Nooks, Tinga Stewart and few others that has gone before us. She also worked and recorded with some veteran artists such as: Bob Andy, Ken Boothe, Frankie Paul, Leroy Sibbles, John Holt, Calypso Rose, Professor Nuts and Sister Carol.
As she became more familiar on the reggae scene, she met producer/DJ Roger Ranks with whom she did her first duet album in 1996. Marcia J. Ball also had the pleasure of working with other producers such as Taurus Alfonso, Isaiah (Sound Vision Records), Hopeton (The Pen) Lindo, Rupert (Silver Dove Records), Dr. Paul & Danny Breckenridge.
After the release of her first album, subsequently Marcia alongside Roger Ranks were releasing singles after singles and doing concerts as well. In 2000 she was approached by Frenchie of Ras and Frenchie’s Productions to do background vocals for Culture D whose album was released in 2000. In the latter part of 2001 he urged her to begin working on an album of her own.
In the early part of 2003, Marcia launched a new single called “Drive me Crazy” arranged by Dr. Paul and produced by Rupert Graham (Silver Dove Records) and Althea Brown.
In 2004, Marcia completed her second album “Right on Time” produced by John Samuels of Tabbath Productions which saturated the airways in the latter part of 2004.
In 2006, Marcia’s third album “Choices and Changes” produced by her brother/producer George (Meco7) Ball for Prajek 9 Productions and Samuel (Genius) Dyatt (One Harmony Records) and Althea Brown for Pops Girl Productions.
At this present time, singles after singles are coming out and she is about to release her latest album Marcia J. Ball “UNVEILED” a lover’s rock album produced by Sirkus Phreecz for P9MG, Jan 05, 2011. Presently Marcia J.
