About Me

Born in in 1985, in a little town in the south of France, Marseille , Marie Orphée had her first performances on stage at age of 12 with small bands and orchestras of her town. At this early age she auditioned for different shows and plays and at age of 14 she got the principal role as a singer in a musical called "Rubia". She then worked as a jazz singer and continued her performance around the town. All this exposure will bring her in 2003 co-working and recording an album with Jean-Paul Cara, a famous songwriter in Europe. She continued singing in France till the of age 19 and then she moved to United States to better improve her skills as a singer and as a keyboard player studying at the reknown contemporary school "Musicians Institute" in Hollywood, CA. In Los Angeles she continued her perfomances as a jazz singer in different venues with musicians like Jean-Marc Belkadi, Otmaro Ruiz, Brian Allan, Forest Robinson and many more... But Jazz Music is one of her passions, Marie Orphée found herself writing songs and lyrics both in french and english and in collaboration with other musicians in Los Angeles she had her first shows as a singer/songwriter, in venues such as Knitting Factory and Henry Fonda, etc. In march 2008 she won the first prize at the Musicians Institute as the Best Performance of 2008.Live at the Henri Honda Theatre

Sounds Like:...Why Marie? "There's nothing more comfortable then a glass of good wine, a lovely companion and french music on the radio" And make some room for Marie's Songs. Her sweet melodies and her lovely voice will take you to some other lands you had forgotten. Your fantasies. Your inner voyages that you have so much longed for. "Il sont passes ou? Quand la porte c'est fermer..."(Where did they go? When the door was close..." Her second single that seems like a lullaby is filled with powerful words and messages. The controversy between the music and the lyrics makes the song calling you back. First the music will take you heart slowly and dreamy, and after you will go back to listen to the lyrics. Of course after her first single "Father" when Marie talks and sings about the problems and issues she finds with the modern life, "ugly people crushing our souls" and the returning to God to ask just make another statement "It is difficult for me, in this modern times to forgive and forget. Is that alright with you?" She is not your typical singer songwriter. The appearance of a slim beautiful girl on stage will "deceive" you. On stage she is a Diva; a woman that will take your breath away and render your mind thoughtless. Thanks to her amazing shows public is left with a joy for music and love for the artist and also with a a desire to ask for more. She is known to be one of the more Coming-back on stage artists in the LA scene. The public wants to listen more and the clubs can't say no. Everybody loves her music, and everyone wants to enjoy more minutes of this show. Born in a small town in South France, Marseille, she started her career at an early age singing with family members in different venues; also singing with a Gypsy band and with several jazz musicians. At age of 14 she was the lead actress of a Musical, and at age of 15 she worked on her first CD as a singer with one of the famous producers and songwriters in France. So, Why Marie? If you want to have a cheerful, mystic and musical voyage, and if you are looking to know one of the best raising artists, Marie Orphee will be the choice. Just tune the radio on alternative/rock music and you won't miss it. You will recognize that if the song who's playing in the radio can't be no other artist, then Marie.extract by Klodeta Buzi." Marie is a uniquely gifted artist that dosen't sound like anyone else. she writes beautiful songs, and delivers them in a way that will leave you breathless." by Carl Perceval
