Under the Sun

Marcel & Janelle offer a fresh mix of Indie/Soul music. Marcel & Janelle’s well-crafted songs remind listeners of a Gungor or JohnnySwim, but their strong melodies and vocal harmonies create a style all their own. Marcel & Janelle is the brain child of husband & wife singer-songwriters Marcel Arocha & Cynthia Janelle Arocha. Strong artists in their own right, Marcel and Janelle have long resumes as professional musicians and worship leaders, each having performed with different internationally recognized artists (Hillsong, ResLife Worship, Tierra), before meeting in West Michigan and collaborating on their first band together, Under the Sun. After achieving local success in Michigan, Marcel & Janelle decided to showcase their sound outside of the Midwest and turn their four piece into an open-door collective, fronted by the husband/wife duo. Under the Sun became Marcel & Janelle and the couple relocated to their new home base in Denver, CO. Their positive vibe, entertaining show and original tunes are just a few reasons that the ever-growing crowds at shows across the country are as diverse as the music. “We love that people can relate to and genuinely enjoy our music. We want people to have as much fun listening as we have playing,” says Janelle. “What we do is not meant for just one genre or one kind of person,” agrees Marcel. “It’s really a reflection of who we are as diverse music lovers.” Michigan-formed, Denver-based duo Marcel & Janelle offer a fresh mix of IndieSoul music with a positive vibe, entertaining show & original tunes.
