Anne-Marie is a rising star in the European music world, a talented British singer, and a three-time world karate champion in the past.
The owner of gold and silver awards at one point decided to abandon her career as an athlete in favor of the stage. As it turned out, not in vain.
The childhood dream of becoming a singer gave the girl not only spiritual satisfaction, but also good fees. Friends, featuring DJ Marshmello, has surpassed 800 million streams on Spotify. This is the second super hit of the singer with such an indicator after the song Rockabye.
The popularity of the artist increased every day. Anne-Marie visited Russia twice with concerts - in May 2015 as part of the Rudimental group, in November 2016 with a solo program at a closed party of Warner Music Russia.
Childhood and youth Anne-Marie
The singer was born on April 7, 1991 in Essex (England) in the family of an Englishwoman and an Irishman. The stage gift manifested itself in childhood. As a child, she played in two musicals ("Les Miserables", "Whistle in the Wind").
In 2010, at the casting in the Don't Stop Believing show, the girl conquered the strict jury with her bright performance and voice. It was then that Ann realized that she was destined to finish her sports career and devote herself entirely to vocals.
For the sake of her goal, she left training in Shotokan style karate and went headlong into the music industry.
Despite this, the singer was in excellent physical shape. With a height of 168 cm, she weighed 60 kg. And she was even an acting "incoming" instructor of the second category in one of the karate schools in the UK.
The path from live vocalist to solo artist
Anne-Marie was not immediately successful in gaining public recognition. She understood that show business has its own rules and fierce competition.
Having excellent vocal abilities, artistic abilities is half the battle. It is necessary to have an inexhaustible will to win, set priorities and purposefully go towards the dream, despite the difficulties.
The artist's musical career began in 2013, when the girl posted the author's composition Summer Girl on the Internet. Fortune smiled at her. The singer was lucky to take part in the recording of the tracks of the Magnetic Man band.
This was followed by an invitation to the group Rudimental as the second live vocalist. The creative union lasted about three years. During this time, the singer took over the experience, made the necessary acquaintances in the musical field.
Even after parting with the group, Ann-Marie still maintains friendly relations with former colleagues. After all, it was their joint work that became the beginning in the development of her solo career.
The singer went into free “swimming” in 2015. At the same time, she released her mini-album called Karate. But the singer woke up a real celebrity in 2016, after the release of the hit Rockabye.
The composition held on to the leading positions in the charts of world radio stations for more than 2 months. A video clip was shot for the song, and numerous fans recorded dozens of cover versions for it.
Further more. In 2017, no less famous hits appeared: Heavy and Ciao Adios. And in 2018, the track Friends "blew up" the music charts. In the same year, Ann's debut album Speak Your Mind was released.
The singer was not going to stop there. She made big plans. She said that she could not imagine her life without music and songs, she even wrote on her Instagram page: “I am so happy when I am on stage. I want to wake up and fall asleep on it.

Anne-Marie is known not only as an author and performer of hits, but also leads an active social life. A celebrity is a welcome guest at glamorous parties, festivals and music events. She is invited to radio stations and TV shows.
The image of the singer is often found on the covers of glossy magazines: Rollacoaster, NME, Notion, V magazine, etc. It is known that the girl advertised the Ellesse UK clothing brand.
Although, according to the singer herself, she does not like to pose. "I hate photo shoots, they make me cringe."
Anne-Marie's personal life
The singer considers meetings with friends to be a cure for everyday work. Anne-Marie is a big travel lover. She likes to visit new places, meet interesting people.
This is what inspires her to create new singles. “Forming your feelings in a song, and then going to perform them around the world is the best thing to do,” the singer admits.
But there is practically no data about the personal life of the singer. It is known that the girl is not married and has no children. And whether the singer has a beloved man, fans can only guess. In an interview, Anne-Marie said that she dreams of a strong and friendly family, which she had in her childhood.
Perhaps that is why the singer wrote with such warmth and tenderness on Instagram about her little nephew, born in September 2019: “I hold the purest soul in my arms. I will see it grow and spoil it."
In her free time from touring, Ann actively communicates with subscribers on Instagram, answering questions from "fans", regularly posts new photos and videos about her life.
Anne-Marie is distinguished by great willpower, perseverance and determination. Her concerts are always sold out. The singer never forgets to thank the audience, saying that it is the energy coming from the audience that makes her happy.
