LAFAYETTE, La. (KLFY) – A soulful voice and eclectic style has had Marcella Simien captivating audiences around the world. 

Born into a family deeply rooted in Louisiana's vibrant music scene, Marcella Simien's journey in music was fate. As the daughter of two-time Grammy winner Terrance Simien, she was surrounded by the sounds of blues, Cajun, zydeco, and gospel music growing up. A visit from David Hidalgo to her family home or being sung “Happy Birthday” by Taj Mahal were commonplace.
