Mree

Self-produced singer and songwriter, Mree emerged in the late 2000s with a series of acoustic covers that won fans with her delicate, heartfelt performance style. Blending ambient, folk, and dream-pop, she gradually expanded into more complex, atmospheric production and original songs, releasing her self-produced debut album, Grow, in 2011. Her music has since accumulated over 16 million YouTube views and appeared in television series including Grey’s Anatomy, Bones, and Beauty and the Beast. In 2014, she received an Independent Music Award for Best Music Production. Raised in New Jersey and based in Ann Arbor, Michigan, Marie Hsiao built her career as Mree through an independent video channel, earning millions of streams with her soft-footed interpretations of songs by artists such as Bon Iver, Sufjan Stevens, and Imogen Heap. In 2012, Bon Iver frontman Justin Vernon brought further attention to her music by sharing her videos on social media and praising her work. Along the way, she has toured with artists including Priscilla Ahn, Nina Nesbitt, Ron Pope, and Novo Amor, in addition to headlining her own shows. In an industry where women have historically been underrepresented behind the console, Mree has built a career guided by her own creative vision, evolving from the acoustic covers that first introduced her to listeners into a distinctive body of original work.
