Marie was born and grew up in Vienna, Austria in a migrant christian family with 3 brothers. In her life she came in touch very early with deep painful experiences when her 12-year old brother died after long years of suffering from brain cancer when she was 8. Nothing was the same anymore. Her feelings for security and peace were deeply shattered. She learned in the following years sometimes the hard way (her mother died also of cancer when Marie was 18), that Life is only worth living if God is directing and filling it. She learned the most from her brother and mother, that only, if you give yourself completely in Gods hands you will have real happiness and peace.
Today she lives a fulfilled Christian life with her husband and 14-year old daughter and loves to share her experience, her knowledge and Gods spirit with others in need. The way she spreads it to the world is through her music.
Music was always a part of Marie`s Life. At the age of 6 she started learning piano, and

also flute, organ and mandolin. She sang in multiple children and adult choirs and groups and sang regularly at sermons and concerts. She began to write songs at the age of 9. Marie is always involved in music projects, whether it is writing, arranging, singing or playing.
From 2002 she sang with the Austrian Youth Choir “S4J-Sing for Jesus” and recorded a CD with them. She is currently touring with the first Serbian Gospel Choir called “Merry Gospel Choir”, she released a Solo-CD in Serbian language at 2000 and with the Merry Gospel choir a CD and DVD-Project 2006. The 2. project, where she is writing, arranging and singing is a Serbian Mission Music Group called “Messenger(Vesnik)” and there is a Album soon to be released. Marie is very happy to be a part of all of this. Until now she has had multiple concerts and appearances all over Europe, like Austria, Germany, Serbia, Croatia, France, and England.
This is what she says: “How can I be silent when I know of something that is worth more than all Gold and Silver and treasure of our whole world together? I will tell everybody who wants to hear where you can find it”.
Psalms 30,12: My heart may sing to you and not be silent. O LORD my God, I will give you thanks for ever!
