Marie began her journey in the arts as a child in Boston, MA. She attended the Roxbury Center for Performing Arts for 11 years, and she traveled and toured as part of a young dance troupe. Inspired by their hometown group New Edition, she was part of a few groups in Boston performing and winning talent shows, while honing her singing and rap skills.
In 1991, she performed one of the biggest breaks in her dancing career in the rap music video “Good Vibrations” by Marky Mark and the Funky Bunch. She left Boston to immerse herself in her true passion: music. One of her stepping stones was an internship at a radio station in MA, where she began to make a name for herself.

She appeared on “Patriots”, the second track on Can-I-Bus, the debut album from critically acclaimed rap artist Canibus. This appearance was Marie’s first major appearance and the album eventually went gold. Her appearance on the album was a direct result of her professional connection with Wyclef and his Refugee Camp crew.
