K MARIE
OVER 18'S WINNER SERIES 2
My name is K Marie and I started writing songs from about the age of 12. I grew up listening to Mariah Carey and Alicia Keys who I loved their range and high notes and I loved Keyshia Cole in my teen years who just had so much passion! so I'd say they are my vocal inspirations. I started to get noticed for my songwriting skills when I studied performing arts as a GCSE, I even wrote for my peers and my music teachers would select me to do studio sessions at school and I also represented the school in a talent show singing one of my own songs. Now years later I still continue to write and record music funded by myself and have giged and done open mics. I have a couple of songs released on social platforms and one music video. My songs are inspired by true events that have happened in my life so as long as i'm inspired i'll continue to write, thank you.
