Carla Marshall

Carla Marshall

Carla Marshall has been played on NTS shows including The Gaza Strip, with Proud first played on 25 February 2022.

Carla Marshall has been dubbed Canada's "Dancehall Goddess". Dancehall, Jamaica's raunchy cousin to reggae is known as much for its "slackness" (read: an unabashed explicitness, usually with a hunorous twist) as for its flamboyant performers, outrageous fashions and hypnotic beats. Whether its musical roots or world politics, Marshall is quick-witted and sassy. She'll show up on stage in a merry-widow corset and gartered fishnet hose, looking like (The Artist Formerly Known As) Prince's ultimate wet-dream incarnate, although she would probably leave His Royal Badness's Little Red corvette bone dry in the dust. Marshall won a 1995 Juno Award for the Canadian Top Reggae Recording for the Buju Banton written "Class and Credential", and a Grammy nomination in the Reggae Category. In addition to her solo performances, Carla has opened for the likes of Canada's Dream Warriors.

Discography includes: "Jealously", "Champion", "Proud" "Class and Credential"
