Lily Marly on SoundBetter

Angelic, feminine, emotive vocalist with 10M+ streams across platforms.

Hey guys, thanks for checking me out! After a long hiatus with Soundbetter, I am happy to be back with more time and eager to be a part of your songs.

I received a degree in Popular Music from the University of Southern California and have spent the years since focusing on my own artist project, music production, and session vocals for projects like yours. I am a pro at recording my own voice from the comfort of my home studio and have done so for individuals and labels alike. I can slip between various genres with ease, from pop to indie to classical/theatre. I love it all!

I figure my demo speaks for itself in giving you an idea of my vocal style, so let me know if you think we'd be a good fit to work together. If so, please contact me with your demo and due date. I would love to hear it.

1. Cannot confirm a project until I've heard the demo, so do not fund it until we've communicated and made sure I'm the right person for the job.
2. Cannot confirm a deadline until receiving the funding.
3. All projects are to be released under your artist name only. I'm here to make YOUR songs "sound better" :)

Click the 'Contact' above to get in touch. Looking forward to hearing from you.

    2nd time i've worked with Lily, she immediately understood the brief, was able to handle all expections and delivered and amazing product even adding her own touches (as options to boot!) which worked great.

    Will definitely work with again.

    I can't imagine a better voice for my songs. And it is a great pleasure to work with a professional singer like Lily. I hope I can record many more songs with her.

    If you don't like what Lily does my guess is it's a writing problem not a singing problem. She's a total pro and so obviously a naturally gifted singer that doesn't rely on gimmicky singing tricks. Do it!

    The turn around on this was so fast, voice recordings sounded great and was willing to give raw and processed takes. The performance was basically exactly what I imagined, song sounds great, hopefully released soon.
    Was great to work with, would certainly again.

Interview with Lily Marly

  1. Q: What do you bring to a song?

  2. A: One unique element of my recording process is my dedication to a complete vocal arrangement. I can add background vocals, riffs and harmonies wherever I see fit in order to help your song manifest its full potential.

  3. Q: What was your career path? How long have you been doing this?

  4. A: I have been singing since birth and studying vocals professionally since my adolescence. I took my studies to the next level in 2014 when I started in USC's Popular Music Performance program, where I am now a senior.

  5. Q: Analog or digital and why?

  6. A: Digital. It's faster, easier, higher quality, and connects me to you! Without digital recording methods, I would not be able to do what I do.

  7. Q: What questions do you ask prospective clients?

  8. A: What is the intent behind the song? Is this for personal use, or are you planning on releasing it? What's the BPM? Do you plan on using my vocals in the final cut? What is the song/track about to you? Do you have any particular styles in mind? Would you like the raw vocals or should I comp/edit/compress/pitch them myself? How creative would you like me to get in terms of melodic variation and background vocal composition?

  9. Q: How would you describe your style?

  10. A: I have a naturally pure, sweet, and bright vocal tone. This provides a solid foundation from which I can emulate many genres, including pop, rock, indie, emo/alt, r&b, hip-hop, oldies, and more.

  11. Q: What type of music do you usually work on?

  12. A: Most of my recording commissions have been for pop/electronic music, however in my own songs the style is more indie-rock.

  13. Q: What's your strongest skill?

  14. A: My strongest skill is my 3+ octave vocal range and dynamic capability. I have an unusually high belting range and my "head voice" extends to near whistle-range (D6). Conversely, I can sing comfortably down to a C3.

  15. Q: What's your typical work process?

  16. A: After a thorough vocal warm-up and mug of tea, I usually pass through the whole song a few times before taking the lead part section by section. Then I record all the harmonies and background vocals before finishing off with riffs and other ad libs.

  17. Q: Tell us about your studio setup.

  18. A: I record everything on my professional grade Mojave MA-200 microphone, resulting in radio-quality sound. I record everything myself in my home studio. Thus, I deliver consistent results with extreme efficiency.

  19. Q: What other musicians or music production professionals inspire you?

  20. A: In my opinion, Christina Aguilera and Ariana Grande have the best technical capability out there today. However, I'm more inspired by the performance styles of rock legends Jeff Buckley and Robert Plant. I always strive to combine technical expertise with sincere delivery for the best possible performance.

  21. Q: Describe the most common type of work you do for your clients.

  22. A: Producers, fans and clients contact me to sing on everything from original tracks and demos to custom-tailored cover songs. Writing lyrics and melodies over original tracks makes up the bulk of my work.
