Etta Marcus

Etta Marcus was eight years old when she first tried the piano. At 10, she picked up her first guitar. Between the vibrant Brixton jazz scene in south London and her father’s jam-packed record shelves, she developed an obsession with music. From that point on, music and music-making became part of her DNA, and bands like Everything But The Girl, Mazzy Star and Gorillaz left an artistic mark that changed her life. Her debut single ‘Hide & Seek’ (2021) brought her a cult following that kept on growing. After her first EP “View From The Bridge” (2022), she landed a deal with Polydor, combining the contemplative tenor of her voice with accomplished songwriting that recalls the cinematic bent of Lana Del Rey or the emotional contrasts of Phoebe Bridgers. Last year saw the release of ‘The Death Of Summer & Other Promises’ (2024), her first extended studio output, which echoes the romantic indie odes of the 90s along with the current Americana renaissance with all its yearning and drama. So it’s hardly surprising that she’s already selling out one venue after another in London. Bittersweet pop made in sepia that can set life’s most beautiful moments as well as its painful lows to music.
