About Marzz:
Marzz has a central focus for listeners: for them to enter tomorrow’s world through their mind. Drawing inspiration from the planet Mars’ fiery-red intensity, the rising R&B singer/songwriter (who hails from Louisville, KY) hopes to teach others to embrace their uniqueness. Born Laria McCormick, Marzz grew up in the church as many of their family members — including their mother and grandmother — were ministers. They began singing in the children’s choir at age four but quickly realized that they didn’t like all the attention. Marzz’ shyness, paired with suppressing their queer sexuality under the pressures of the church, initially forced them to hide inside their own bubble.
The singer soon found solace through a mixture of secular and gospel artists, including Beyoncé, Lauryn Hill, Mariah Carey, Erykah Badu, Kirk Franklin, Kim Burrell, and the Clark Sisters. After coming out in high school and having fellow students cheer on their talents during pep rallies, they built the confidence to take being an R&B artist as a serious career. Marzz transformed the words they scribbled in various notebooks into R&B freestyles, which they then uploaded on Instagram. Along with the freestyles, they began to upload covers of popular R&B artists including Teyana Taylor and Ella Mai. Then in late 2019, Marzz’s talent caught the attention of none other than one of modern music’s pioneers: Timbaland. The legendary producer reached out to Marzz to record a handful of tracks and shared their talents on his Instagram page, not only boosting their growing fan base but changing their life.
