Marie Haddad - Hallelujah (Leonard Cohen)



Marie Haddad | MySpace Music Videos



'somewhere between Kate Bush and Leonard Cohen'
(San Diego Downtown News)



'(reminiscent) of vintage Elton John with beautifully stacked harmony vocals that perfectly set up the verses, a powerful piano track that mixes complex chord/melodic structures with sublimely simple ones'
(San Diego Troubadour)
WHO'S MARIE?
Marie Haddad started playing piano at the age of 5 but quit formal training at 11 because her attention span required constant breaks for cartwheels.
After having to sell her piano in college, she missed playing so much that she would regularly sneak into a well-known San Diego hotel in the middle of the night to practice on the grand in their main ballroom. Soon, the cleaning staff started to recognize her.
After playing in various San Diego bands (everything from a mall houseband to a Xanadu cover project), she joined 12 piece 60's soul outfit the San Diego Beat Organization. The group was nominated as Best New Band at the 2002 San Diego Music Awards but disbanded shortly thereafter.
It was only then that Haddad finally began publicly performing her own songs. Soon drummer Nasr Helewa and bassist Jason Hee joined the equation. Together they released Haddad's debut CD 'A Beautiful Road' in 2006.



Marie Haddad was honored with nominations at the 2007, 2009 and 2011 San Diego Music Awards as Best Acoustic Act in San Diego. She recently opened for Vienna Teng and Sara Watkins, played to an audience of hundreds at the San Diego County Fair, and completed an ambitious West Coast/Las Vegas/New York tour. She also scored two short, independent films and has started recording music for her next CD.
