Marsha Ambrosius

Born in Liverpool on August 8, 1977, Marsha Ambrosius studied music at the Brit School of Performing Arts & Technology, giving up her passion for basketball after an injury. In 2000, she produced a demo of a song which she proposed to her former sportsmate, Natalie Stewart. The latter had become an established artist in the United States when she suggested she team up to write tracks for Bilal, Jazz and then Michael Jackson, who performed their "Butterflies" in 2001. From then on, the two friends formed the duo Floetry, who achieved success with the albums Floetic (2002) and Flo'Ology (2005), before going their separate ways. Marsha Ambrosius then embarked on a solo career with the mixtape Neo Soul Is Dead (2007), continuing to write songs for Alicia Keys, Jamie Foxx and Wale. Signed to J Records, she recorded her debut album Late Nights & Early Morning (2011), which reached No. 1 on the R&B charts and No. 2 on the Billboard 200. 2014 saw the release of Friends & Lovers (2014), No. 2 on the R&B charts, under her new label RCA, before Floetry reunited for a tour through 2016. In between collaborations, Marsha Ambrosius signs her third solo album Nyla (2018), ranked #18 on the independent charts after its release by the Human Resources label. Back in the fold of producer Dr. Dre's Aftermath label, the singer unveiled her fourth album Casablanco in 2024.
