I am really motivated and have a lot of hope for the future. I never give up. When I fall down, I get back up really quickly, to get back at it.”
She grew up in a Baptist church singing gospel songs, and has been a part of some really amazing gospel choirs in Haiti such as Praise and the Salem Gospel Choir. She is a convert to the Mormon faith. She was baptized a member of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints in her native country of Haiti on 28 March 2009 after receiving a strong testimony of the restored gospel of Jesus Christ. Her compassion and love for others pushes her to do good and she constantly seeks to help her family and others in need.
Some of the causes that she cares about include: arts and culture, children, Civil Rights and Social Action, education, environment, Human Rights, and Social Services. She further comments on her Linkedin profile, “My dream is to become an internationally known Haitian entertainer, motivational speaker, and build an Art/Music School for less fortunate talented children in Haiti.”

She is an independent recording artist and enjoys creating beautiful videos to share on her YouTube channel. In December 2015, she performed with Alex Boyé in his Africanized concert, and she is a backup vocalist on Alex’s latest video release “Under The Sea | The Little Mermaid vs Captain Jack Sparrow.” She is also a member of the Genesis Gospel Choir, and was recently asked to record the chorus for the theme song of the Glen Beck Show which was produced by the Osmond Brothers.
Marj currently lives in Salt Lake City, Utah with her husband and son whom she adores dearly. She and her husband moved to Utah in July 2012 after the devastating earthquake that occurred in Haiti.
