Meet Marisel

Marisel Rodriguez is a full-time Creative Musician and Photographer, and a first-generation American of Dominican descent. Born and raised in New York City and now a proud New Jersey native, Marisel delights in sharing her art with the world.

She works closely with the Franciscan Friars of the Renewal, the Diocese of Newark, NJ, and many other ministries. After the release of her first single, “I Choose You” in 2017, she grounded herself in the Christian Music Industry, which led to the release of her first Spanish single, “Llegas Tú” in 2019, in collaboration with Producciones Lavid.

Marisel has performed across the United States and internationally in countries such as Spain, Peru, Panama, Puerto Rico, Jamaica and the Dominican Republic. A highlight of her career includes performing alongside Kairy Marquez during the 2019 World Youth Day in Panama.

Her commitment to music and community service is deeply interwoven. In addition to her performances, she participates in missions supporting impoverished communities in developing countries. Her dream is to create music that heals broken hearts and transcends layers of hopelessness in both Spanish and English. She envisions a future filled with hope, empowerment, and reconnection to God.
