Bio
Ninamarie Bell 2024 HKF On the Rise Artist
As a singer-songwriter based in Kona, Hawai’i, Ninamarie Bell pens songs best described as dreamy, drifty folk made for gently stirring the heart, or perhaps as a soundtrack to moments under a soft ray of golden sunlight.
She recalls her mom saying she was singing in her car seat at six weeks old. It was clearly music and none of her six siblings had done that, and that was a sign. Her dad, a keyboard player, was her earliest mentor in her music journey, and she sang songs with him at the piano. Early on she became inspired by the music of Joni Mitchell, James Taylor, Cosby Stills Nash and Young, Billie Holiday, Sinatra, Etta James, Erykah Badu, and Jack Johnson.
As a young adult, she drew inspiration from artists like Corinne Bailey Rae, Bon Iver, and Ray LaMontagne, shaping her unique sound.
Ninamarie Bell is rapidly gaining recognition for her captivating songwriting and soulful vocals, making her a sought-after talent in the worlds of advertising, film, and TV licensing and can be found on Disco. Her unique sound and emotive storytelling resonate across screens, leaving a lasting impression.
She shares music as healing medicine, transmuting deep emotions with her emotive sound. Her main influences are the yellow birds outside her window, the longing created by the pace of modern life, and the turquoise blues stretching beyond the jagged coastline of home on the Island of Hawaiʻi. Music is available on all digital platforms.
