About this user

Marianne Mettes, born 2 June 1985, feels it is necessary to lead an interesting life to be able to feed and satisfy her creative soul.

Truly a crafter of songs and creativity, as she assembles and designs her work by uniquely combining elements she picks up throughout her life. She engages audiences in awe as she dazzles them with her wide variety of songs, and shares tales of her hearts ebb and flow and the struggles and joy of everyday life, as if she were reading from her diary. Marianne always keeps the audience on their toes, by varying the pace so that they are kept always smiling. She brings to life multiple, animated personalities as she dynamically uses her voice and facial expression in her improvised gibberish.

Performing regularly with her younger brother, Jonathan (13 years) on Djembe, she plays acoustic guitar, sings beautiful melodies and lyrics, while blowing sweet riffs on the harmonica, as well as keeping time on a thumping stompbox - her style consists of folk and roots, with a touch of jazz and blues, and her sets are always varied, containing "no boring bits!"

Marianne is currently self-recording her new album, to add to the other 4 and 2 DVDs, and creating a film-clip with director Louise Alston and dance choreographer Hui-Chun Peng, which she hopes to present to a wider audience during 2006.

Marianne completed her BFA at QUT in 2004, majoring in song writing and digital art. Marianne was the first person to study and finish this unique course that seemed perfectly designed for her creative interests and needs

She embraces and stretches her skills not only as a singer/songwriter, but also through such mediums as composition for dance and film, graphic design, sound engineering, digital and visual arts, dance, film and TV, fashion design, and web design.

Passion, expression and determination could not be said enough, as Marianne strives to create something new which she can truly and wholly claim as her own, while still keeping audiences enthralled with catchy hooks, poetic lyrics and cant keep your toes still and eyes smiling rhythms. She mixes conventional song writing with her individual sense of simplicity and eclectic quirky-ness to entertain and engage people young and old.

You will never see Marianne not smiling, as she conveys her love for what she does and wont stop creating till everyone is smiling with her.

Marianne will creep into your heart and warm your soul with messages deep from within hers.
