A New Day Is Here is with Marguerit Holland’s

Marguerit Holland’s vision never ceased to grow. Just four years old, she started singing in her church children’s choir where she took her place seemingly without a moment’s doubt. However, she wanted to do more. By the age 10, Marguerit started accompanying her mother on the piano and by the age 13, she was playing the electric guitar and bass for her family’s singing group. Marguerit made her first record, “The Gospel Train” at the age of 16 with The Inspirational Voices Of Angeles of Jamaica. That same year, she won “Best Bass Player of the Year Award” given by the United Gospel Association of New York. She played bass for two more years with the Voices and Angels. However, she wanted more. Returning to her first love - singing - she began performing full vocal concerts. However, it was a chance encounter at a church caretaker’s birthday celebration that would dramatically change Marguerit life. The late Rev. Timothy Wright, impressed with Margaret’s singing, asked her to join his choir. Together, they went on to make history. Marguerit was one of Rev. Wright’s main soloist on three albums: “Who’s on the Lord’s Side,” “Just Believe,” and “Draw Me Nearer.” Her adlibs on the gospel classic, “Who’s on the Lord’s Side” (which was nominated for a Stellar) gave her national attention! Marguerit traveled extensively for 6 years. As a result, she was in Pepsi commercial and performed alongside many great musical artists like Rev. James Cleveland, The Clark Sisters, Vickie Winans, Commissioned, Take 6, Al Green, Ashford and Simpson, and Foreigner. Her vocal ability and stage presence was greatly enhanced during this time. However, she wanted more. In 1996, Ms. Holland began her solo career which found her performing at places like the world renowned Cotton Club and the 1997 New Jersey State Republican Convention.
