We recently connected with M. Marisa and have shared our conversation below.
M., appreciate you joining us today. When did you first know you wanted to pursue a creative/artistic path professionally?
Singing has always been a passion of mine. Truthfully, I never took it serious enough to sing or perform in front of others because I never thought I was that talented enough to do it or that people would really pay me any mind. Being told I have a beautiful voice, how good of a songwriter I am, and being so talented has gave me the perseverance to continue on with my music. I’m always listening to beats online & people sending me beats, and I come up with lyrics to them. I love the whole process of making music!
As always, we appreciate you sharing your insights and we’ve got a few more questions for you, but before we get to all of that can you take a minute to introduce yourself and give our readers some of your back background and context?
Hiiiii! Thanks for having me! Well…my name is M.Marisa. I’m originally from a small town located in South GA called Cairo, but I currently reside in Atlanta which is now my new home. It’s been a really good experience out here so far! I moved to Atlanta last year in August & pursued my career as a teacher out here after graduating from Thomas University in May of last year with my Bachelor of Science degree. I am going back this fall in August to continue my education in obtaining my Masters in education. Besides teaching, I’m also a singer & songwriter. I have been singing since I was a little girl, but I didn’t start taking music seriously as far as writing & recording music since 2019. I released a new song this year back in February off an upcoming EP I am working on this year. The song is called “All Night” which is currently streaming on all music platforms. I take the most pride in being able to wear many hats while establishing a stable life for myself. I’m excited about the upcoming things I am working on and to accomplish them as well!
What do you think is the goal or mission that drives your creative journey?
I would say a particular goal that is driving me to continue on my journey is being able to do different things with my music like travel around the world to perform, collaborate with with other artists and create music with them, have number 1 hits and albums, write music for other artist, and much more! I also want to get into producing my own music as well.
What’s the most rewarding aspect of being a creative in your experience?
The most rewarding aspect of being an artist is being able to do what I love & seeing the end result of everything of it. I get so excited about writing and recording music especially when the song is fully finished. I get highly anticipated to release my music just to hear how I sound on the track and how it all came together and to see and hear everyone’s reactions to my music as well.
