Marty McCall
Voice & Songwriting Instructor |
Marty McCall has enjoyed a diverse career in vocal music. Beginning in 1970, Marty studied classical voice at Furman and Anderson Universities in South Carolina followed by Medieval & Renaissance studies at the former Quadrivium Center for Early Music in Boston, MA. He also performed in multiple musical theatre productions, including a New York based touring show of the musical “1776.” With influences from his music education and inspired by his love for the pop and rock music of the day, Marty began writing and performing his own songs in the early 1970s.
At the invitation of friends in the music industry, Marty moved to Nashville, TN in 1976 and soon founded what became one of Contemporary Christian Music’s pioneer pop/rock bands, Fireworks. As lead vocalist and primary songwriter, Marty and several iterations of band members, released five albums and toured for eight years, helping to shape the CCM rock scene of the era. In 1985, Marty, along with Melodie Tunney and Bonnie Keen founded the contemporary trio, First Call. The group became well-known for their tight harmonies and complex arrangements, earning a stellar reputation among music producers in Nashville. First Call recorded 13 artist projects, won three Dove Awards, and were nominated for five Grammy Awards. Their thirty-year career has allowed them to remain influential in the CCM community. Throughout his performing career, Marty has employed his love of teaching by coaching singers in pop style and performance, helping them gain the technical tools and creative awareness they need to choose and develop their own unique sound. After 25 years in Nashville, working as a session singer, performance backup singer, recording and touring artist and vocal coach, Marty moved to Northern Virginia, with his family, to lead worship at McLean Bible Church in McLean, VA. During his 16-year tenure at MBC, and while advancing to Director of the Music Department, Marty led worship, performed solos, directed and developed worship teams, coached singers and planned services. He also created pop vocal workshops as well as individual voice coaching sessions for his teams. “My diverse experience with vocal sounds and styles has given me an ear for helping singers find their own unique sound,” Marty says. “Every singer must follow his or her own vocal dreams to find the style, culture and emotions of the songs that will fit his or her voice. At any age or level of experience, singers sometimes just need help – to get started, to get through a tough spot or to develop a higher level of expertise and vision. It’s always an honor to come alongside singers to help them explore and grow in their own unique musical and vocal journey.” |
