Marns knew from a young age that she wanted to be a musician, saying: “I learned that I was good at music, and also enjoyed it which was very important for me. I was encouraged to do things like gymnastics and dancing and I got quite far into them, but I eventually fell out of love with them, because I just wanted to sing.
Marns explored her passion further on the Music Performance and Vocal Artist courses at Access Creative College Bristol, working with industry expert tutors to hone her artistry, build her brand and refine her performance.
“ACC has helped me really look into the finer details of my voice and develop both my singing and confidence. They also helped me to make the connections I needed to really get my foot into the industry. I have met some crazy people that have done amazing things and helped me get career opportunities.”
This year, Marns has reached new career heights thanks to Next Level, performing for thousands of festival goers at some of the UK’s biggest and most prestigious festivals.
“I have played some amazing festivals this year and I have to thank the Bristol music community for really recognising my passion and commitment, and helping me bring my dreams to life.”
After this year’s incredible festival run, Marns is looking firmly at the future, saying: “I hope the future looks bright for me. I am looking to do some more headline shows and festivals, progressing towards becoming a bigger name!”.
Clearly, there’s a lot more still to come from this incredible, unique and exciting artist.
