“London-based singer-songwriter Marie Naffah masterfully blends classic storytelling, drawing inspiration from legends like Bob Dylan, The Beatles, and Joni Mitchell, with contemporary influences such as Sharon Van Etten, Bleachers, and Big Thief. This fusion creates a distinctive sound that balances modernity and nostalgia.

Having seen widespread critical acclaim from the likes of The Independent, BBC, NME, Wonderland, and many more, Marie released her debut album ‘Mother of Pearl’ in June 2024 under Frictionless Music.

A core aspect of Marie’s artistry is her dedication to building meaningful connections with her fans, a quality that shines through in every project she undertakes. An early champion of the direct to fan method, Marie recently completed a sold-out regional tour across the UK, which concluded with a memorable performance at London’s EartH Theatre in Hackney. Proudly authentic, ‘Marie carves her own musical path that is unlike any other,’ as perfectly put by Wonderland Magazine.

An avid supporter of London’s live music scene, Marie began ‘Little Gigs’ – a monthly music night in collaboration with Tooting’s Mezzanine cocktail bar. The venture was born out of internet fatigue and a wish to chat to kindred spirits beyond a screen. Hosted by Marie, the night removes boundaries between artist, audience and venue. Audience members are given the opportunity to ask questions directly to the performer – getting a deeper insight into the process, projects & passions of London’s finest indie acts. “
