Her exceptional talent has not gone unnoticed, earning her nominations for the TTMA “Upcoming Female Vocalist” and later “Female Vocalist.”
In 2018, Marlissa signed with CHR Records, continuing her long-standing collaboration with Producer and CEO Rick Garcia. She is currently working on her second CHR album, set to be released in Fall 2024.
In a heartfelt tribute to her late father, Marlissa released her own rendition of one of his classics, “Viendolo Bien.” This single release showcases her natural talent and solidifies her rightful place in the Conjunto music scene.
