Hey, it’s me, Bella Marie! I’m a NJ/NY based performer who was born and raised in Virginia Beach. I take pride in my hometown because the thriving arts community there greatly helped foster my obsession with the arts and my tendency to dream big. When I was three, I would watch So You Think You Can Dance with my parents and tell them how one day I was going to be a contestant. Then, at four years old, I found a love for the violin and felt inspired to play Carnegie Hall as a soloist, just like Hilary Hahn, my favorite violinist to this day. These “little” inspirations were the stepping stones that led me to my current dream: telling unheard stories that are undeniably human.
