She was signed to Decca Records in 2010.[1] Jodie Marie's 2012 debut album Mountain Echo has been described by The Guardian as 'velvety and bittersweet'[2] and The Independent as 'having a light-blues and jazz-folk-edge recalling late-1960s singer-songwriters such as Carole King.[3]

Career beginnings

When she was 16, Jodie Marie was spotted by the father of a music industry manager from Transgressive Records, an independent record label based in London, who was visiting Pembrokeshire on holiday. Shortly after, Marie found herself with a manager and began writing songs with former Suede guitarist Bernard Butler and singer songwriter Ed Harcourt.[3]

Personal life

Born in Narberth, Pembrokeshire, Jodie Marie grew up listening to singers such as Bonnie Raitt, BB King, Eric Clapton, Janis Joplin and Jimi Hendrix and says her parents, John and Denise Warlow, have been a huge influence, as well as support from her friends and family, including her elder sister Nikki.[4] Jodie Marie started performing at local gigs at the age of seven. She began writing her own material when she was in her early teens.[1]
