Whirl With Merle

If you are following The Voice on NBC, you heard Marina Chello battle it with teammate Ricky Duran singing “Valerie.” Chello is on team Blake and who saved her to the next round.

Who is Marina? Marina and her family moved to New York from Uzbekistan when she was 11. Adjusting to the new culture was difficult, but listening to American music helped her learn the language and begin to make friends. Marina became very involved in school plays and concerts, and she decided to pursue music after graduation. She resided in Forest Hills and now living in Plainview, LI. 

In 2007, she landed a deal with P. Diddy’s Bad Boy Records and her single “Sideline” was a big hit. She later got married and took a break from music to focus on being a mom. Marina currently manages a catering hall and is here on “The Voice” to give music another shot.

Marina will tell us how show got chosen and how The Voice works.  We will also throw in a song that she recorded
