Music has always been the thread that carried Chaz Marie through life—the one constant that never let go, even when everything else fell apart. Raised in churches across the DFW area as the daughter of a preacher, her free spirit often felt out of place. She never set out to be a singer, but music had other plans. After discovering a rare sibling harmony with her sister, she moved to Nashville at 19 to chase a dream.
After years of working full-time jobs and knocking on every label door, Chaz co-founded The Marie Sisters and signed with Universal/Republic Records (New York). The years that followed were filled with touring, recording, and sharing stages with legendary artists. Then, without warning, it ended. A single fax—“The magic is gone”—closed that chapter overnight.
The loss shattered her confidence, and for a time she disappeared from the spotlight. Still, music remained. Singing in small honky-tonks for little more than survival, Chaz slowly rediscovered her voice—and herself. One pivotal night, she walked onstage with nothing to prove and no mask to wear. That performance marked a turning point: she wasn’t a product—she was an artist.
Chaz formed a new band and met Quinten, her musical partner and anchor. From their first performance together, his guitar and her voice locked in effortlessly. Together, they’ve built something honest—no gimmicks, just soul, truth, and connection. Whether performing in backyards or on big stages, their goal remains the same: to make audiences feel seen, included, and moved.
Up ’Til Now
With over 20 years as a professional performer, Chaz Marie has headlined festivals, theaters, and private events across Texas and nationally. She has shared stages with Kenny Rogers, Wynonna Judd, Jo Dee Messina, Lonestar, Michael McDonald, The Temptations, and Cross Canadian Ragweed. As part of The Marie Sisters, she released the single “Real Bad Mood” (Billboard Hot Country Singles & Tracks) and contributed background vocals to LeAnn Rimes’ platinum album Sittin’ on Top of the World.
Her songwriting spans country, Americana, soul, blues, and rock, and she has collaborated with respected musicians and producers including Will Lee, Richard Marx, Guy Roche, and Shep Goodman & Kenny Gioia. Independent releases such as Take Me Away and Bestie reflect her artistic growth and continue to resonate with fans.
Beyond the stage, Chaz gives back—raising over $13,000 for Kerrville flood relief, mentoring teens through songwriting camps, and performing for children and families through Music Meets Medicine.
