D ‘ M A R I E L - A multi-hyphenated artist.
MY NAME IS D’MARIEL AND I AM FROM AUSTIN, TX. I AM THE YOUNGEST OF SEVEN CHILDREN AND THE ONLY BOY (WHEW!) I GRADUATEd magna cum laude from TEXAS CHRISTIAN UNIVERSITY, WHERE I RECEIVED MY B.F.A. IN MUSICAL THEATRE. STORYTELLING IS MY PASSION AND I LIKE USING MY ART TO EVOKE SOCIAL CHANGE AND INSPIRE AUDIENCES TO FIGHT FOR A MORE EQUITABLE WORLD (I like to CALL MYSELF AN ACTORVIST). THOUGH performing is my first love, i also have found a calling for directing and producing.
WHEN NOT PERFORMING, YOU CAN FIND ME: SHOPPING, styling clients, DOING PHOTOSHOOTS, PRODUCING AND DIRECTING SHOWS, EATING BOMB FOOD, DANCING, SCRELTING TO MY FAVORITE BELTING DIVAS, LISTENING TO 90S R&B, OR PROBABLY SLEEPING. I AM A CANCER (IF ASTROLOGY MEANS ANYTHING TO YOU). I AM AN OLD SOUL AND LOVER OF ALL THINGS 70S AND 90S. MY ECLECTIC MUSIC TASTE INCLUDES MANY ARTISTS SUCH AS: BEYONCE, DONNA SUMMER, CELINE DION, STEVIE WONDER, LAURYN HILL, JANET JACKSON, NO DOUBT, INDIA ARIE, DONNY HATHAWAY, AND MANY MANY MORE!
THAT’S THE ABRIDGED VERSION OF D’MARIEL! I’M AN OPEN BOOK, SO I’LL LET YOU DO SOME EXPLORING AND FEEL FREE TO REACH OUT TO LEARN MORE ABOUT ME!
