TINA S. MARIE is a complex individual whose artistic talents cover many fields, her professional history spans “Art Teacher” for the University of Arizona to “Director of After School Programs” at Lents Elementary School. She currently has two musical projects: Tina S. Marie Band and Stepchild (Classic Rock cover band), with the Tina S. Marie project on-going since 1996. This experienced songwriter has spent virtually her whole life involved with the pursuit of music and art.

Alternative-adult contemporary is the description given for her genre on the back of her CD “Namaste” (1998). Her second CD titled “Messages” (2007) delves deeply into her connection with Life and her understanding of the tender beauty of the human heart and soul. Tina reflects, “I titled it ‘Messages’ when I was asked about how I write. I find ‘ah-has’ in my relationships with folks, what I observe and in the midst of thought. Each song has its inspiration, gifts and reflections.” Her songs are autobiographical in nature in that they tell stories about relationships, observations, feelings, epiphanies and the regular other stuff folks go through while living the “human” life.
