Her writing has appeared in numerous Gylian publications and she is considered one of Gylias' most influential music journalists, with her pieces and reviews being widely quoted in the music press.
Early life
Marisa was born on 6 October 1960 in Ðoron. She is part-Lusitan and part-Tomesian, with additional ancestries including Italian and French. She was given both her parents' surnames at birth, and has since joked, "you can't be named Ibanez and not be involved in music somehow".
She attended the Regional University of Tomes, where she worked for the student publication. She left university without completing her degree after being hired by Planet Rock.
Career
Marisa has been a freelance writer for numerous publications, including Musical Update, Sound Observer, Planet Rock, Popscene, L'Petit Écho, Silhouette, Downtown, and Radix. She has covered a wide range of topics, but is perhaps best-known for her coverage of Neo-Gylian Sound, city pop, and dance-rock, which she supported before they rose to national popularity.
She remarked "Every Gylian music journalist is either a Liisist or anti-Liisist" — a remark that Liisa Salmela was so proud of she made it her epitaph — and describes herself as an "anti-Liisist" when writing.
Her writings feature "mild use" of musical theory to support her arguments. She is known for her strongly socialist view of music, with strong attacks on the profit-driven music industry and support for cooperatives and mutual aid.
She has written several books, including Postmodern Pop (about the impact of the "applied avant-garde" ideal on Gylian music), City Romance (about the impact of demopolitanism on Gylian popular culture), Music and Its Enemies (about the music industry), and Sex and Solidarity (analysing Gylian groupies as a form of mutual aid).
Marisa is also an illustrator, providing her own illustrations for articles and books, and an occasional presenter at a local radio station. She has made many cameo appearances in films and television series, particularly in comedic circumstances. She plays the guitar and keyboards, and records music in a home studio that she uploads to Proton.
She is known for writing facetiously negative reviews of her tracks on her blog, and jokes that "sometimes, great misunderstandings took place and people accidentally invited me to play on their albums".
Private life
She is in a civil partnership, having expressed opposition to the institution of marriage. She identifies as a socialist, and has worked as a union organiser for the GCWUA outside of her media career.
