Margo Zelle is an RnB, Jazz, and Pop singer-songwriter who aims to encapsulate and express musical and emotional concepts that are often less seen in popular music, as well as teach other musicians how to love music, and in particular jazz and music theory. Margo grew up in Austin, TX, which is where she first stepped foot on a stage, starting the fire inside her that still passionately burns. In Austin, Margo primarily worked under Joe Morales, and she sang at popular venues like Stubbs, The Mohawk, Parker Jazz Club, Monk’s Jazz club, and the Elephant Room. She continues to perform in both Austin and Low Angeles with bands and solo. Margo enjoyed growing up singing in the Austin Jazz Club, and Morales, who runs the club says, “Margo Zelle is a talented up-and-coming R&B recording artist. Her show is a high- energy mix of original music with virtuoso jazzy vocals.” Margo now attends the University of Southern California as a jazz voice major, taking lessons with legends such as Sara Gazarek, Katie Thiroux, and Patrice Rushen. Through just the New School of Music, she has worked with phenomenal musicians such as Christian McBride, Andre Hayward, Don Braden, Bill Evans, Peggy Stern, Emmett Cohen, and more. Margo also loves teaching and has taught in Austin and LA since 2018, teaching at Band Aid School of Music, privately, and through the Thornton Community Engagement Program (TCEP, USC). She is also a social media marketer and manager, and she is even famous on tiktok (@margozelle)! Margo hopes to record and release an album in 2023.
