The Cost of Freedom - Paperback

by Marla Glen (Author), Stacey McClain (Author)

Born and raised on the South Side of Chicago, Marla Glen discovered her gifts at the young age of 3 when Muddy Waters gave out toy harmonicas at a birthday party. Not only was Marla aware of how to create music, but the artist was also aware that living life as a girl was not an option.

The young Marla grew up to be a young stud that drifted about the country playing open mic nights, and mentored by legends such as Nina Simone and Bo Diddley. While drifting in New Orleans, a Frenchman gave him an opportunity to perform abroad, and it turned into a whirlwind of musical successes, winning Gold and Platinum awards. However, the na?ve artist encountered pitfalls and ended up on the streets of France asking fans if he could live with them, to get on his feet again. Several lows continued, until ultimately Marla finally meets a fellow artist, who assisted him in making music for his fans.
