gnieszka Wisniewska, 29, also known as Angie Marie is a singer and songwriter who loves Jesus. "Jesus is my Savior and the Lord of my life. I am humbled by His unending love for me. As a Roman Catholic, the Church has always been my foundation." With faith as her core, Angie Marie has the ambition to step into the arena of popmusic and share her story of music with the world. "Writing music has always been my emotional outlet and my escape. Strong, raw emotions result in the most honest and relatable songs." Utilizing her natural talent to go along with classical training, Angie Marie credits her European roots for laying the foundation of her path with music. "Poland has a very rich and diverse music scene. I happened to grow up around blues musicians that my dad worked with. There were many times when my sister and I would hang out at rehearsals after school or fall asleep to jam sessions in the living room. At six, I was accepted to the Grazyna Bacewicz School of Music in my native Gdansk, Poland with a dream of becoming a concert violinist. It was there I developed a huge love for classical music." Blending classical styles of composers like Chopin along with pop artists such as Michael Jackson, Angie Marie began to write and record her own music as a teenager. "I enjoy all genres of music. Some of my favorite artists include Coldplay, Sigur Ros, Frederic Chopin, and Michael Jackson. Music had always been at the forefront of 14 ANGELICMAG.com
my life. Afterall, as the daughter of a musicianfather, I felt pre-destined to embark on the same path." Moving to the United States in elementary school and growing up in north New Jersey, Angie Marie eventually found her way to Arizona as a college freshman who was admitted into Arizona State University. From Poland to New Jersey to Phoenix, although her surroundings changed, the love of creating and writing music grew with each day. Eventually learning to play the piano and having a self described musical style today of piano acoustic, Angie Marie has recorded tracks with professionals in the industry but also has worked in studios on the east coast as well as Los Angeles as a writer for other musicians. "I am excited to be writing again! I have a few projects in the works and can't wait to be back in the studio!" Many secular artists are afraid to identify with Jesus for fear of judgement being passed on them, but Angie Marie doesn't run from her faith despite recording music outside of the Christian realm. As a devout Catholic, there was no apprehension on Angie Marie's end for being a part of Angelic Magazine as she shares the desire to represent Christ through the talent He's blessed her with. Brace yourself, because this won't be the last time you hear the name Angie Marie. She's on the verge of shaking up the music industry with her love of Jesus and her love of composing and recording music. These three things continue forever: faith, hope, and love. And the greatest of these is love. (1 Corinthians 13:8-11)
