Marie White, 23 years young, and a girl – surprisingly (by her own admission)! A girl who enjoys making music, drinking coffee and writing about herself in the third person.

Reluctantly accepting many of the requests to ‘move along’, Marie started busking in Rye at the age of 15, performing soulful ballads, most of which were written during the early hours of the morning in her family home. 

Without venturing too far outside of Sussex, Marie has played a number of different shows in the past 6 years, a number not too far from the population of her hometown, Hastings. It would be fair to say that she has created quite a name for herself down by the sea. 

Describing herself as ‘an accidental musician’ she finds it hard to take a step away from her passion. She doesn’t want to write, she needs to write. Marie still remains true to “The 30 minute rule”… She states that if a song is not fully formed within an episode of EastEnders, then quite frankly it’s time to turn over to ITV2. 

Marie won Glastonbury's Emerging Talent Competition 2019, earning her a spot on the BBC Introducing Stage at the festival.
