Sequoia Marie

My name is Sequoia Marie. I have been singing since I was 6 years old. I started to create my own music in 2018.  Being in and out of sick kids hospital for years music has always been my passion and what has kept me motivated for years. I wanted to inspire others who have struggled with similar experiences as I have through my music and show them I haven't given up on my dreams. In 2019 I released my first single "Type of way", I was very proud of myself for releasing my first single. That year I had performed for flow 93.5, I was on Toronto's diversity tour and I was in YMCA'S "Rep your region" singing competition. When 2020 had come and the pandemic started, It was a challenge to make music in the studio, to have performance opportunities, and to really focus on the goals I had set for myself that year. I had taken the two years to figure out who I am as not only a person, but as an artist. I wanted to figure out what kind of sound I want to show the world, who Sequoia Marie is. In 2022 I released my second single "Known Better" As well as dropping my first music video for my second single. I had really focused on my stage presence. I had got many opportunities to perform and I was very happy with the connections and other talented artists I had met that year. This year I would like to focus on building a brand for myself. I would like to build my fan base and be able to perform outside of Canada. I want to be able to start focusing as well on marketing and video production when it comes to releasing more of my music. Being on the billboard has always been one of my dreams and goals for years. Everything that I have recorded or released I have worked hard to pay for. I know that all the hard work that I am putting into my music will pay off and it is a dream that I won't give up on. I hope to have really built the brand for myself and accomplished the goals I have set for my artist development year.
