Margo Rey
Nov 6, 2011
Margo Rey was born in Acapulco Mexico and laid her professional foundation with over a decade of classical music training under the exclusive guidance of classical voice professor Dr. Luther Stripling. At the age of 16, Rey fronted an all female rock band Debutante (The Debs,) who toured the U.S. as well as overseas and also sang in a 3 piece power pop band called the Ritual before beginning a career in jazz. After becoming the band leader for the Latin/Jazz R&B Sextet Miss Margo and the Lost Souls, Rey was signed to an indie label (Exitos-Latinos) where she recorded a Tejano/Pop Spanish album. This release boasted one top five and two top twenty singles. She soon caught the attention of actor Edward James Olmos who recommended her for a principal role in the bound for Broadway musical Selena Forever . This led to a number of theatre credits including Saturday Night Fever, Latin Heat, Like Jazz, Senor Discretion Himself, Zorro and Canta Lunga. During this time period she began crafting and touring her own original music that she calls "Organica."
"Let The Rain," the new single from Margo Rey was digitally released on the Organica Music Group Record Label on August 16. This will be the first release from Rey's forthcoming CD which was produced by Margo Rey, Michael Blakey and Elton Ahi. Margo's single is currently approaching Top 20 on the Mainstream AC chart and continues to grow.
