Meet Elle Marie
posted (September 20, 2012)
In our newsroom we know Christelle Wilson as an up and coming young attorney - but she moonlights as Elle Marie, a reggae artist and song writer with a sweet voice and a deft touch of the pen.

Over the past weeks, her music has been hitting the airwaves on some of the most popular radio shows… songs like "Ah Me Wear The Ring" and "Burn".

Tonight Elle Marie will be hitting the big stage with Dancehall superstar Demarco in Orange Walk Town- where she will be performing her hit songs for the first time in front of a large audience.

In a sit down interview with 7news today, the talented young artist spoke about her journey from attorney to artist and what she hopes to accomplish - while keeping her day job!

Elle Marie
"I was approach by the promoter who brought in DeMarco to celebrate the Independence celebrations bringing in 21st tonight and I will be opening for DeMarco in Orange Walk tonight."

"My story is so funny because I have been writing songs for ages but I have never thought about putting them out on such a wide scale but a few years ago I was diagnosed with an illness and I had this crazy idea to do an album and used the proceeds to start a foundation for this sarcoidosis and out of that just letting people hear the music and whatever they encourage me to start heading into the studio, do my thing and before you knew it Elle Marie was born and you are right, it's so surreal that I just started out my music and here I am being ask to open for one of the hugest reggae artist you could possibly think about. I am still in shock Monica, trust me."

"This not my day to day career, it's new for me. It's exciting to have somebody say I love your song, I love the melody, it's catchy. I don't have an Elle Marie fan page - that is being constructed as we speak, so as soon as that is up and running people will have more access to me, but the music is available at soundcloud.com/ellemarie and that's where you can go and listen to it."

"The feedback has been very positive Monica. Monica is one of my biggest fans. The feedback has been very good, very motivational and I am striving forward to get more songs out there and at the end of the day get my foundation up and running because that's what Elle Marie wants to get done. That's my final goal that I am striving for."

The concert will be held at Butch's Parking Lot in Orange Walk Town tonight.
