New York, NY (Top40 Charts/ Shore Fire Media) To say Marz
Lovejoy had an incredible 2011 would be an understatement. Opening the year on the heels of the release of her debut EP, "This
Little Light Of Mine,"
Lovejoy performed alongside
Wu-Tang Clan and
Erykah Badu at SXSW, putting on a show that New York Times' writer Jon Pareles described as "among the best" at the festival. In October, she put on yet another stunning performance and stole the show at the A3C Hip-Hop Festival in Atlanta. She went on to win over crowds while opening for
M.O.P. at CMJ and by opening for Curren$y, The Jets and special guest
Wiz Khalifa at the "Jet World Order" album release party in November.

This year,
Lovejoy also made her feature film debut in director Sheldon Candis' "LUV," appearing amongst an all-star cast including Common,
Danny Glover, Meagan Good, and Michael K. Williams. The film has been selected to compete in the U.S. Dramatic Competition at the 2012 Sundance Film Festival.
On the experience,
Lovejoy commented, "I'm very grateful and humbled by this opportunity. I got to be around creative professionals such as
Common and director Sheldon Candis who exposed me to new experiences and made my first film performance feel as natural as being myself. I'll be honing in on this new love of mine as time progresses…and going to Sundance is really the cherry on top, I get to go to Sundance with a purpose, that's exciting!"
Producers
Gordon Bijelonic and Datari Turner added, "Marz
Lovejoy is an incredible new talent and we look forward to working with her on more films in the future." The 2012 Sundance Film Festival will take place January 19 through January 29 , 2012 in Park City, Utah.
