marie-antoinette

My name is Marie-Antoinette, I´m born in 1985 and till now I live and love in Germany. As I was 3 and I listened to Tina Turner and Cindy Lauper =) I decided to become a singer and that dream never changed.Now I study speech sciences. This is for getting a technical sense for using the voice in other directions beneath singing. That is my passion and nothing else except music&love, because for me it´s the base of enjoying my life (..even if daily struggle catches me sometimes) and expressing the way I feel.Before I was 16 years I took classical singing and pianolessons till I got in my first band named EK´PE-MOG. I was just a backing-vocalist but the way to be on tour, standing on the stage taking responsibility for me and the audience made me more confident of becoming a professional musician. I spent two years with these guys making rock-reggae-ska-music in our own definition. We broke up and during the following year I did some electronic and hip hop-projects.Then I founded my own first band named MARU YAZé and even if we played together for only one year this kind of funk-soul-rock gave me the time to learn and practice prescence on stage. During that whole time I started to take vocal lessons in jazz/pop and worldmusic to find my own authentic, inner voice. This band also broke up and beneath other musical projects (gospelchoir, collaborations with hiphop-artists, electronicdudez & singin in an theatrepiece,) I started to create my own songs with piano at home but never on stage. Now my voice was nearly founded and I felt saver in its use, so the time had come to check out its colours (I´m still working on that=). Till that point I never really understood where my music should lead to/where it belonged to and which direction I wanted to go.Now I sing and play piano in band named AVALOUNGE (www.avalounge.net)..its like a Fusion of Soul, Drum&Bass, jazzy and funky sounds..the special about this band is that everyone is the most important, and a DJ is involved in all arrangments. Furthermore I´m also backing-vocalist in a ReggaeCombo named WASABI SUTO, comparable to Seeed (germaican tunes). Also, a new thing developped which is called: MAL ART - a duo (piano&voc) playing own songs and filling nights with jazzstandards & soulclassics.I´m straight about my dream - my heart is filled with soul and influenced by every kind of good music (mostly hiphop/soul/funk/ groovy and vocal stuff =)). I don´t ever want to miss this again. I will do everything for being on stage my whole life trough till I die and fall from it =).All I wanna do is singing - prolific/creative working with truthful & sincere people all over the world.- Everything is in process- it won´t stop. Never.I need to have friends. I need to have to have relationships. I need to give and get it. LOVE. to stay inspired by the things above!NICEVIBE. WORD.
