Bella Maree
Meet Bella Maree, a 26-year-old professional musician, singer-songwriter, guitarist and self-producer fresh to the Perth music scene.
In the last 16 years, requiring a lot of perseverance & dedication, Bella Maree has already accomplished a wide range of goals in the music world.
Bella Maree’s first ever paid gig was at Fraser Coast’s Carols by Candlelight for an audience of 10,000 when she was just 10 years old.
She has been paid to perform ever since, doing all kinds of shows for various events from a very young age and has won multiple talent contests.
Bella Maree wrote, recorded and co-produced her 1st EP Album with Pacific International Music Studios between the ages of just 11 & 12 alongside her brother, Keanu, in their duo “Strange Angel”.
At just 13 she had a gig at Fraser Coast’s Whale Festival for an audience of 8,000.
When Bella Maree was 14, she and her family moved overseas to Thailand, where she lived and performed regular gigs mostly as the lead singer of multiple bands until she was almost 17.
“I had the opportunity of performing shows with some of the most accomplished, experienced and talented musicians from all around the world that I have crossed paths with so far; such as Lead Guitarist Jaap De Joonkcere (previously from the band ‘Shocking Blue’) and European-famous singer-entertainer Bob Color. During some of the most memorable jam sessions overseas, I feel honoured to have sung with the incredible award-winning jazz singer Cheryl Hayes and jazz band ‘Randy Cannon Trio’ , to only name a few. Everyone along the way has given me new knowledge and experience that I will forever cherish.” – Bella Maree
