Dynamyte

Call me Dynamyte.


I’m a WonderWoman-esque neo soul, intellectual pop singer/songwriter.


I’ve been a professional musician for over a decade, performing over 300 shows nationwide with my brother in our duo Michael & Marisa as a singer/songwriter/drummer/multi-instrumentalist. In addition to performing our own shows, we toured as the opening act for many Top 40 radio artists, such as Ariana Grande and Christina Perri. Now is the beginning of a new chapter.


My two main musical inspirations growing up were Amy Winehouse and Lily Allen, and my music is a bit of a fusion of my favorite elements from these two artists. Amy inspired me to sing and Lily inspired me to write. I’m most inspired by Amy’s vocal because when she sings I feel like I can hear her guts. Her vocal is a strong pang right to the core of genuine raw emotion. Lily has always been a lyrical genius in my eyes, with her witty, intelligent, and very wordy lyrics. There is a cheekiness, but also a mature cleverness in her writing that I’ve been determined to master and replicate since the age of ten.


I’m currently 23 years old and just graduated Brown University. I studied Sociology, with a focus on social interaction and social psychology. I love to analyze human beings and their behaviors, the underlying inspiration behind my lyrics. I use my analyses to make sense of my experiences when writing, while also targeting what kind of content I feel the world needs.
