As a child Marleta wanted to sing. Her efforts were not encouraged, she was told she wasn’t really singing but elongating words. Not one to give up easily, Marleta sang in groups at church and in the choir. In 2011, at 21 years of age the opportunity to sing solo came. The chosen singer for the youth program was unable to attend. Marleta was invited to fill in. She sang the Celtic version of “When I survey The Wondrous Cross” with acoustics. God had opened the door. She says “ My prayer to sing for God finally came true”. Her sister Charissa, a dynamic preacher and Marleta sing together and at times are joined by their pianist as a trio. They have performed overseas and travel extensively all over Australia and Sydney sharing the Gospel through preaching and music.
You will be blessed to hear Marleta singing some of her favourites during this interview. Her reason for choosing her songs is a powerful testimony in itself. Her albums are available here at 3ABN Australia.
