Well, here it is...I was born and raised in the Netherlands and started playing the sax at age 11. Around the time I was 14 years old, I started playing jazz.After graduating High school I went on to study at the Rotterdam Conservatory (codarts) from which I graduated in 2006. I continued my studies at the Amsterdam conservatory. While pursuing a master’s degree in Amsterdam, I got the opportunity to study in New York at the ‘Manhattan School of Music’ for a semester. In 2008 I graduated from the Amsterdam conservatory.In 2009 Marike was nominated for the prestigious ‘Deloitte jazz award’ and the ‘Amersfoort jazz talent award’.
