Born Marisa Sundari Freed, March 18, 1991, 11:35 PM in Tacoma General Hospital in Washington to full Indonesian mother Patricia Martiana Freed and Caucasian-Jewish father Justin Wayne Freed. Her mother worked odd jobs while working on and off her college degree and taking care of four children while her father struggled with the finances from consistently changing careers while battling an alcohol and drug problem. Since she was a young age, she always enjoyed being creative, entertaining, performing music, dance, and theatre. Living in a middle class neighborhood in Port Orchard, WA with two other brothers and a sister, Marisa grew up listening to all sorts of genres of music. From her mother’s Willie Nelson, Elvis, and Michael Jackson compilation CD’s, her fathers love for The Beatles, Pink Floyd, and Sade, her siblings addiction to Taking Back Sunday, Daft Punk, and Dashboard Confessional, to her own attractions to Missy Elliot, Beyonce, The Spice Girls, and Ludacris. Her father would play the guitar and piano from time to time, always expressing to his children to follow their dreams since he never had the chance to chase his own. This led Marisa to writing poetry, singing, dancing, choreographing routines, filming music videos with her friends at parties, and even mixing songs together to make her own songs. After Jazi completed her second year of college, she called her parents and told them she wanted to drop out and focus on her music career. Naturally, her parents did not support and cut her off financially and emotionally. Even her friends in college disapproved of her decision and did not believe in her and her vision. Jazi was left with no money, no place to live, no family, and no friends. She relied solely on the support of her Producer and her determination to make her dream into a reality. This obstacle brought her closer to the truest element of Hip Hop, the streets. Throughout the production of her debut album, “I.D.G.A.F.”, Jazi and Trackbaby released promotional music videos via Youtube and social websites gaining love and hate from supporters, strangers, and old friends around the world. Unbeknownst to anyone including her manager and producer, her last few months of college Jazi did everything and anything she had to do to survive the next day from working as a bar hostess to escorting men for money. It was her choice as she felt no one would help her financially, considering her parents cut her off and she wasn't sure if her manager would assist her. She never told her manager about this fearing he would stop working with her. Still, without the support of her family and friends, Trackbaby and Jazi spread her name and music throughout the island creating a buzz around the globe which had a major impact on changing the way people think, rap, dress, talk, and support each other. Her heartaches and loneliness motivated her to write deeper songs about her life to spread her message to others. Jazi’s inspiration to keep fighting for her dream and moving forward stems from her own pain and knowing that others in the world feel the same if not worse. Her goals are to reach the masses of people of all ages, genders, races, and religion and enlighten them on her views on how we can change this world into a better place, how the quality of music has diminished, and how society makes it hard for people to live out their dreams. Her movement, “Little Girl Big Dreams” is her mission to inspire and guide people into leading and living a better life; To create a new era in the world of music with more peace, justice, talent, and love. Currently, Jazi is signed to Trackbaby Records LLC, continuously performing at popular venues on/off the island, and promoting her debut album "I.D.G.A.F."
