J Marie Cooper

Singer / Songwriter J Marie Cooper combines beautifully crafted, heart-felt lyrics with an explosive on-stage presence that has captivated London's music scene in recent months.
J Marie hails from north London and has been singing for as long as she can remember.
'I did attend dance college for a while' recalls J Marie 'but ballet every morning at 9am didn't really seem to be my calling. I was the girl who would turn up in black eyeliner with a million holes in my tights. Hardly Darcey Bussell!'



She worked in two female groups and collaborated with Nile Rogers, Narada Michael Walden and Jeff Beck.
'It was so mad' says J Marie. 'I was working with these hugely successful legends but then at the weekends when I wasn't at the studio I would be working as a sales assistant and waitress to make ends meet and cover my travel fares to the studio!'.
J Marie had a great experience in both groups but then decided her own music was the route she wanted to take.
'My style is always evolving', says J Marie. I have been through some extremely dark times,and some wonderful light times. God is my witness and it's all there in the music! Every mile stone and every bit of joy you can hear, right there in the words of my songs'.
Throughout her journey J Marie has performed with her five piece live band at the 02 Academy Islington, London Embassy, Cafe De Paris, Wandsworth Palais, 229 Club, The Half Moon, Soho Revue Bar, Ginglik, Bar Music Hall, The Water Rats, The Cobden Club, Studio Valbonne,The Queen of Hoxton, Aquum, Ronnie Scott's jazz Club, The Elgin, Zigfrid Von Underbelly, the YouTube Zeitgeist Europe Event and various other venues receiving excellent reviews.



J Marie's song 'Save Me From Today' was chosen to feature on the advert for 'Dooleys' Toffee Vodka which was shown on a weekly basis on Living TV2 from 2009-2010.
J Marie's songs have also had plays on BBC Radio London, BBC Radio Essex Introducing, Oxford FM (Girls Talk with Rosie Tratt), Harborough FM, NerveCast Radio and Mansfield FM as well as regular airtime from USA Radio DJ Larry Flick on SIRIUS XM.
J Marie has been interviewed several times live on air on many radio stations and has also performed a live full band exclusive set of her new material on BBC Radio London 94.9FM in January 2011.
J Marie is always perfecting her craft and has a great team working alongside her. Watch this space for exclusive J Marie Cooper news.
