Anne-Marie was born on 7 April 1991 in East Tilbury, Essex, England and raised in Ireland. Anne-Marie has been very close to her mother since her childhood. She studied at Palmer’s College in Thurrock as a teenager.
Her first performance on stage was as a 12-year-old when she appeared in a West End production of ‘Whistle Down the Wind.’ Aside from West End commitments, then she spent her early years struggling to become a pop singer and also tried her luck in professional karate championships at least three times.
Anne-Marie has told fans that karate taught her focus and discipline, which are the two essential characteristics of a successful musician.
She has been practising karate since the young age of nine when she won multiply awards in the Funakoshi Shotokan Karate Association World Championships in 2002 and 2007. She has also won the gold in the United Kingdom Traditional Karate Federation National Championships
First, she pursued her music career alongside karate and her debut album ‘Speak Your Mind’ was released in April 2018. In 2013,
Anne-Marie released a solo demo for Rocket Records called “Summer Girl”. She then spent the next two years touring with Will Heard and Dizzee Rascal.
On 10 June 2015, she released her debut EP titled ‘Karate’. This EP featured three original singles and Chloe Martini remixes. Two singles from the album, “Karate,” a slick fusion of R&B and electro-grime, and the follow-up “Gemini,” became hits.
In November of that year, the British singer released the single “Do It Right”, which managed to peak at # 90 on the UK Singles Chart.
Then in May 2016, she released the first track from her debut studio album, “Alarm”. The same year, Clean Bandit came out with the song “Rockabye” which featured Anne-Marie as the main vocalist, which seems to be the song that made her rise to fame.
Soon after this, she released the solo single “Ciao Adios” which she had earlier performed live at KOKO.
Anne-Marie’s next track was her collaboration with Snakehips, titled “Either Way”. On 22 September 2017, she released the single “Heavy”, followed by “Then”.
In 2018, the British singer come songwriter collaborated with Marshmello on the song “Friends”.
On 21 February 2018, Anne-Marie announced that her debut album titled ‘Speak Your Mind’ will be released in April 2018. Released on 27 April, the album featured singles, such as “Alarm,” “Ciao Adios,” “Cry,” and “Then.”

On 23 July 2021, Anne-Marie released the single “Kiss My (Uh-Oh)” as the fourth single, featuring Little Mix on the same day her album Therapy was released.
