SAN ANTONIO – Though she comes from a family steeped in musical tradition, Di Marie often thought she’d never be here...a step away from success, sharing her debut album with Tejano and Regional Mexican-music lovers. Her first album is titled Todo De Mí (All of Me) and it’s obvious that this young singer and songwriter born in Lufkin, Texas, and living in San Antonio, has truly put all of her feeling, talent and charisma into this project. It’s a 10-song production, with eight cuts written by Di Marie herself. A family affair, it’s produced by her brother David Garza, with executive production by her father Albert Macías. Her musical family also includes the renowned Tejano artist Roel Martínez. Since she was 6, Di Marie showed aptitude for music which was a constant presence in her home. However, chance and the ups and downs of love separated her from her calling. She joined a “girl group” that due to unforeseen circumstances split up after recording just one song. Now, as a solo artist, she feels fulfilled and is backed by a first-rate team. The first single, titled “Estoy Cansada” (I’m Tired), is a true story that plays out over a cumbia rhythm. “It’s about coming out of a bad relationship, about feeling stuck,” she says. It’s a song that can inspire her fans to take positive steps in their own lives. Another standout is “Hoy Decido Levantarme” (Today I Choose to Get Up), an intriguing fusion of cumbia, reggae and rock written by her sister-in-law Elizabeth Garza. This fun song talks about the good changes that can take place after the romantic disappointments expressed in “Estoy Cansada.” Todo De Mí is a well-thought out production. Each song is catchy and danceable, but the album is more than a collection of songs. It’s a complete project whose unifying arc starts out describing the tough times that we all go through, and then transports us to the joy we feel when we’re happy with ourselves and our partner. You might find Di Marie writing songs anytime and anywhere. She’s often jotting down and recording lyrics and melodies; her songs are in demand to be recorded by other artists as well. Di Marie is a fresh talent whose songs about being a 20-something with hopes and dreams will resonate with all of us and make her one of Tejano music’s most talked-about new artists.
