Inspired by her older brother, she always tried to imitate him starting to play organ and later discovering the guitar, receiving her first guitar - around her 13 years after convincing her father to give her one - that she describes as "(...) terrible. It was so bad that I had to play with my ear neat the guitar box to hear the sound."
She has a graduation in Painting, taken in the Lisbon's Fine Arts University, probably due to her father's profession - he was also a painter.
Márcia is usually compared to female artists like Carla Bruni or Adriana Calcanhotto because just like them, she goes to stage only with her voice and her guitar, being very uncommon in Portugal - not only for being a woman but for doing it solo.
She started to write in Portuguese, during her Erasmus trip in France where she felt alone and discovered how unique her mother language was, until then she only wrote in English.
Dá is released in 2010, a year after Márcia's self-titled EP release through Optimus Discos and mentioned as Fnac's "New Talent 2009".
This record is incredibly easy to listen. She plays a lot with the words and the arrangements have touches of acoustic and soft-rock.
From Dá we can recognize Cabra Cega, Pra Quem Quer or A Pele Que Há Em Mim
This record is going to be released this year, counting with a version of A Pele Que Há Em Mim with the Portuguese artist JP Simões.
"E a calma a aguardar lugar em mim
O desejo a contar segundo o fim.
Foi num ar que te deu
E o teu canto mudou
E o teu corpo do meu"
