Marsha is a well rounded artist who was born and raised in Los Angeles, California and studied musical theatre at the American Musical and Dramatic Academy (AMDA) in Manhattan, New York. While attending AMDA, she trained in singing, acting, and various types of dance including jazz, tap, and ballet. After graduation, Marsha decided to pursue her career in Hong Kong.
She began as a model for Elite Modeling Agency. Then, when she unexpectedly entered in the 1999 Miss Hong Kong Pageant, she received 1st runner-up and continued on to represent Hong Kong and China in the 1999 Miss World Pageant in London. Marsha’s acting career began with the hit TVB sitcom “War of the Genders”. Her character in the sitcom brought her recognition throughout Hong Kong and parts of China. After working for TVB for 1 year, she decided to venture outside of Television and start working in film.
Marsha began her film career in action and martial arts movies for which she had to undergo rigorous training. The hard work paid off as she is now known for her martial arts abilities and it has become one of her many strengths. Marsha also starred in the legendary comedy “Men Suddenly in Black” as well as its sequel. “Men Suddenly in Black 2” has become a box office hit in Hong Kong and her performance in this film has been well received by viewers.
Though Marsha is recognized as a beauty pageant icon and known for her roles as the innocent, naïve girl next door, it wasn’t until later when the public heard her sing. She participated in many musicals in Hong Kong including “Sound of Music”, “Annie”, “Hong Kong Nocturne” and “Musical Moments”. More recently, Marsha was invited to perform in the “Andrew Lloyd Webber Gala” in Estonia along with top vocalists from New York, London, Norway, and Germany. Her voice has been described as being “unique, sweet, and angelic.” Many have called her “the best singer in Hong Kong!” It’s no wonder that many people have been trying to convince Marsha to release her own album.
Well, the persistence has paid off. The sound of her first album is definitely like no other in the world. It is a cross between theatrical/sweet vocals in mandarin mixed with beautifully arranged jazz instrumentals. Now, as a new vocal artist in Hong Kong, Marsha hopes to have more opportunity to do what she loves best… to perform!
“I love to perform it’s my passion in life. I want to sing, dance, and touch people’s hearts with my passion…”
