| 19 year-old, Ann Marie has been singing ever since she can remember, and after her first public performance at the age of five, she knew what she was destined to do. Ann Marie was born in Valencia, CA and raised in Westlake Village, CA as the middle child of five kids. Growing up, she sang in musicals, school groups, church, local charity fundraisers, weddings, sporting events, parties, and practically anywhere she could find opportunity. It didn’t take long for the talk of Ann Marie’s incredible vocal talent to get out. As a child, she especially enjoyed singing songs from Disney movies and at the age of thirteen she scored the job of singing the theme song, “Part of Your World” for Disney’s, Little Mermaid II. She continued to hone her skills as a singer and performer by being featured in lead roles such as Maria in “West Side Story”, Peter in “Peter Pan”, Dorothy in “The Wizard of Oz”, Sarah in “Guys and Dolls”, and Joanne in “Godspell”. These onstage experiences gave her the confidence to sing in front of hundreds of people, which eventually led to thousands. When Ann Marie was sixteen, she was invited by producer, David Foster, to sing “I Will Always Love You” at The Concert For World Children’s Day in Chicago alongside artists such as Celine Dion and Josh Groban. Ann Marie’s other credits include singing “Over the Rainbow” with Kenny G., performing the National Anthem at the Staples Center for numerous events including Laker games, singing “God Bless America” at the NBA All Star Game ‘04, performing at the WB’s Christmas Tree Lighting Special at The Grove, and many more. Ann Marie made her first on-camera appearance this past year in a music video for Panasonic that featured her singing “Right Here With Me,” and also showed off her dancing ability in a routine with some of the industry’s top dancers choreographed by Brian Friedman. Later in March, she travelled to Germany to sing and dance in a performance for Panasonic at their biggest annual trade show, Cebit. Most recently, Ann Marie has been focusing on recording and songwriting, two areas she feels extremely passionate about because of her love for connecting her emotions through music. This triple threat has proven she can do just about anything, and it is only a matter of time before she fulfills her destiny.....People are already starting to catch the fever.....
