"The Essence Of Soul Music"

About Me

22 Year old Margeaux Was born and raised in Minneapolis Minnesota. Hometown of Prince,Mint Condition, Jimmy Jam and Terry Lewis. Next, the Times, Sounds Of Blackness. The Steel Family, Ann Nesby,and Johnny Lang etc.. She is going to be the next " big artist."Since the age of three, Margeaux has always enjoyed the spotlight. Margeaux would sing at the mall to anyone who would listen, and put on a little show, singing "Her favorite Jackson 5 song "Rockin Robin." Her father soon bought Margeaux a key board and Margeaux started plugging away.. Margeaux taught her self by ear. There was never anybody in the family that was musically inclined. Her parents were just a fan of Good Music. "Real Music" Margeaux shortly just fell in love with the old school music growing up.. Her parents had Margeaux at an older age than most of her friends parents. So She didn't have any other choice but to listen to all the greats! Duke Ellington~ Ella F. Etta James, Ruth Brown, Miles Davis, Stevie Wonder, Sam Cooke, Ray Charles, Nat king Cole, Tony Bennet~ Frank Sinatra~ Diana Ross and The Supremes, Earth Wind and Fire. (Just to name the very few)Margeaux took voice lessons at MacPhail Center For Music for five years and participated in several Honors Recitals 1999-2003. Although she was born with this natural gift. Margeaux wanted to learn about different types of music and other ways to use her voice instrument.Margeaux graduated from North Community High School in Minneapolis, in June of 2004. Margeaux received recognition for creativity and visual performing arts award; also a certificate of achievement as an African American Achiever. Margeaux graduated "A" honor roll and participated in many of the Arts and Communications Presentations. Margeaux always sang for the graduating class commencements at the Civic Center for her high school.One month after graduating High School, Margeaux had an audition/competition not knowing the difference between the two. Margeaux read an add in the local news paper looking for "Singers" so she had made an appointment to meet with them. The talent scouts fell in love with Margeaux, and shortly after Margeaux starting working with them. The talent scouts promised her this and that, and said they knew this and that person, but of course there was always a fee, and she paid it. (Well Her parents did) Thousands of dollars later. Her and her family realized that this was a scam and Mrgeaux was sold a dream. Money that her parents did not have. That money that was spent on this unfortunate scam was for Margeaux's College career. Even though Margeaux and her parents were scammed , that still didn't bring them down. Now they know they can't trust everybody in this industry. It was a huge learning experience.Shortly after that incident, Margeaux told her parents that she wanted to take a year off of school to work full time and pursue her singing career.. Her parents were and (are) still behind her 100% with that. With that being said, Margeaux Started working full time as a banquet server and hostess for a hotel downtown Minneapolis. Margeaux Had everything planned out from the get go. She Planned On Working full-time for about a year and a half at the very most; and had everything set up for school. Margeaux was on her way to L.A to attend "Musicians Institute" in HollyWood California In January 2006. But, in August of 2005. Margeaux slipped and fell on her right knee in the kitchen on wet tile flooring.. Ever since Aug 2005 Margeaux hasn't been able to work, and has been on Work Comp Ever since. In Sept 2006 Margeaux had surgery on her Patella which was hopefully going to work out. Sadly it didn't, it just made things worst. Margeaux is in the process of getting a second surgery. Although this situation has been very frustrating and such a long process, It could also be a blessing in disguise. Patients! Patients! Patients!In Feb 2006, Margeaux was asked to sing at Minneapolis Urban League (Howard Ellis The Co- Founder of "Soul Essnce" )To help Raise awareness for H.I.V Shortly after that performance, Margeaux Was again asked to Sing For Mr. T. Mycheal Rambo "Entertainer Extraordinaire" In June of 2006 For his big leave to Africa..Margeaux now plans on attending school in Minneapolis for Make-Up Artistry in November 2007 Which is a 5 week program. Later in the year of 2008 plans on going to Toronto for school. "Complexions International" to advance her in becoming a professional Film Make-Up artist. "It's another way of getting in the door with my music career".."My Mother and Father are VERY! Pro Education, which i am as well. I just want to live out my dream, and turn My dream into reality, I am so passionate, driven, motivated, and so determined to get in the music industry and "make it. I have so much to offer in the industry today. I believe that music has lost it's essence and I want to bring real music back on the scene. Songs you can and will remember."Margeaux recently sang at the "House Of Blues" and the "Bootlegger" in Las Vegas at celebrity karaoke and Buffie Lucas (a singer for Gladys Knights traveling Gospel Choir) said "You are the female version of Luther Vandross".Margeaux has had her(demo) played in vegas at the Pink Taco at the Hard Rock Cafe' and was recently featured on a local radio station in Minneapolis KMOJ with great responses from people in her home town.Back home you can find Margeaux singing at Old Chicago, (Karaoke) Blue Nile (For Open Mic) The Minnesota State Fair Talent Show, Sneaky Pete's, Famous Dave's (Open Blues Jam) Pretty much at every open mic, Karaoke, audition in town..
