Anne-Marie is a very popular British singer and songwriter. She rose to fame after the release of her hits Alarm, Ciao Adios, Friends and 2002, performed with other artists, collaborated with Rudimental and Clean Bandit, and her songs are listened to all over the world. Anne-Marie was also a coach on The Voice UK and has performed at major festivals. In this article, we will tell you in detail about her biography, recorded albums, and awards received by the celebrity.

Anne-Marie's biography

The singer's full name is Anne-Marie Rose Nicholson. She was born on 7 April 1991. Anne-Marie is a native of East Tilbury, Essex, England.

Anne-Marie's youth

The future artist was born in a small town and showed musical talent from childhood, being a very active child. At the age of five, she started attending theatre school, and at six, she auditioned for Les Misérables in the West End (a magnificent theatre in London) without even telling her parents beforehand.

By the time she was twelve, she was already performing in another musical, Whistle Down the Wind, alongside future star Jessie J. It's fair to say that the singer grew up on stage. In addition to music, Anne-Marie has been practising Shotokan karate since the age of nine and has won numerous competitions, including at the world level. Playing sports made her more disciplined, which came in handy later on when she was building her music career.

Parents

Anne-Marie's father worked as a builder and handyman, and her mother was a teacher. The singer also has an older sister, Samantha Nicholson. Her family supported her from an early age, which is why Anne-Marie began performing on stage at a very young age.

Anne-Marie's career

Anne-Marie's career has been more than successful. Over the years, she has released a number of songs that have won the hearts of British listeners. Moreover, the artist does not limit herself to music, trying her hand at other areas. For example, Anne-Marie participated in the voice acting for the cartoon Turning Red, produced by Disney/Pixar in 2022. In the British version, she lent her voice to the character Lauren, the main character's classmate.

The beginning of her career

Anne-Marie's musical career began in 2013 with the release of a demo track that caught the attention of listeners and musicians alike. After guest appearances on songs by Magnetic Man, Gorgon City and Raized by Wolves, she shone on Rudimental, and in 2014 she was offered the chance to replace the band's departing vocalist. Anne-Marie spent two years touring with Rudimental as a vocalist and participated in the recording of several songs from their album. After that, the artist began her solo career, releasing her first EP Karate in 2015 and starting to record her first singles independently.

In 2019, Anne-Marie was among the headliners at the Glastonbury Festival, playing on the Pyramid Stage and performing her popular songs, including ‘2002’. She reappeared at the festival in 2024, on the Other Stage with new compositions.

Awards and nominations

Anne-Marie has won many prestigious music awards and received even more nominations. In 2018, the singer won the MTV Europe Music Award for Best UK & Ireland Act.

Her achievements also include:

1. Brit Awards — several nominations in different years, including Best British Female Solo Artist, but no wins.
2. Billboard Music Awards — nomination for international success.
3. Grammy Awards — nomination as co-writer and featured artist (not a solo win).

Anne-Marie has been nominated more often than she has won, but she is consistently present in the list of leading artists on the British scene. Her debut album Speak Your Mind led to nominations for the Brit Awards, where she was among the contenders for the title of Best British Solo Artist. The singer has been nominated for this award about ten times.

Albums

Anne-Marie has already released several studio albums:

1. Speak Your Mind (2018) — her debut album, which reached number three in the British charts and includes hits such as Alarm and Friends.
2. Therapy (2021) — her second studio album, which reached high positions in the charts and includes music videos and singles such as Don't Play and Kiss My (Uh-Oh).
3. Unhealthy (2023) — third studio album with popular songs that were also actively listened to in England.

Anne-Marie has sung with Clean Bandit, Marshmello, Little Mix and other artists. The song Friends with Marshmello became a global hit. Her age allows her to release many more singles that will appeal to listeners.

Anne-Marie is not only a performer but also a songwriter. Most of her hits are about love, breakups, and feelings between people. For example, Ciao Adios is about breaking up with a boyfriend who was dishonest. Friends is about friendship that has grown into something more.

Anne-Marie often sings about friendship and the support of friends, about how important it is to remain true to yourself and not change for others. Her song 2002 is nostalgic about childhood and teenage friendship, about first feelings. Many of the singer's compositions motivate listeners: they encourage them to be strong, not to be afraid to express their opinions, and not to be shy. The lyrics of Alarm, for example, describe a situation where you are not appreciated and talk about the need to leave toxic relationships.

Anne-Marie writes about feelings: joy, sadness, fear, disappointment, love. This brings her closer to her listeners; the artist's lyrics are honest and ‘lively’.

TV programmes with Anne-Marie

Anne-Marie not only sings beautifully, but also takes an active part in television projects. She has appeared on a number of shows. Anne-Marie is as well-known on British television as Emma Willis, for example.

Perhaps in the future, the singer will appear more often on television as a presenter like Ant McPartlin. Every time she appears on stage, whether as a singer or a television personality, the audience gives her a very warm welcome.

Anne-Marie's personal life

Anne-Marie rarely discusses her relationships and family in public, but over the years, details of the singer's personal life have become known to the public. She lives between East London and her hometown of East Tilbury in Essex, England. In 2022, she began a relationship with British rapper Slowthai.

Partner

Anne-Marie is married to British rapper Slowthai (real name Tyron Frampton), with whom she has children. He is known for his sparkling lyrics and energetic performances.

Their romance began in 2022, but the couple kept their relationship hidden from the public for a long time, before eventually starting to appear together, give interviews and post joint photos on social media. In 2024, it was revealed that the celebrities had secretly married in Las Vegas in July 2022.

Children

Anne-Marie and Slowthai's first daughter, Seven, was born in February 2024. In May 2025, the couple had their second child, a son whom they named Forever Sugar. Anne-Marie shared her joy on social media, where she also periodically talks about motherhood.

During her second pregnancy, Anne-Marie was diagnosed with gestational diabetes, a condition in which blood sugar levels rise during pregnancy. After the birth of both her daughter and son, the singer candidly shared that she had experienced postnatal anxiety and depression.

Her emotional state after giving birth left much to be desired. She did not hide this from the public, as many young mothers face similar issues. It was difficult for the artist, but support and therapy helped her overcome her difficulties. Anne-Marie had health problems even before she had children.

For many years, she struggled with anxiety and self-doubt, attending therapy, which helped her to better understand her emotions and feel more confident. She said that this helped her to write music and cope with the pressure that singers are under throughout their careers. In one interview, Anne-Marie said that she had been diagnosed with ADHD (attention deficit hyperactivity disorder), dyslexia and OCD (obsessive-compulsive disorder).

Net worth

There is no official data on the singer's financial situation, but she earns a decent income. The singer's assets are estimated at approximately £5.4 million. She earned this money through stage performances and appearances on television shows.

Place of residence

Anne-Marie lives in East London and also spends time in her hometown of East Tilbury in Essex. She divides her time between these two locations.
