Born and raised in Detroit, La Marr has had a desire to uplift and entertain the world through music and acting since the age of ten. Joining local singing groups, choirs and ensembles around the community afforded him the opportunity to display his vocal skills and sharpen his craft. He attended the prestigious Detroit High School for the Fine and Performing Arts, majoring in vocal music. His melodic tenor/baritone voice and swift jazzy riffs gave him the chance to share the stage with music giants such as Tony Grant (formerly of Az Yet), Dave Hollister and Wanda Nero Butler (to name a few). He toured the country with Faith Entertainment's inspirational stage production, "Baby Mama Drama" starring Kym Whitley and Clifton Powell. He also starred in Carlton Hamilton's stage play, "Papa Dont Take No Mess." You can currently hear his background vocals on the latest R&b single performed by Carl Carlton (Bad Mamma Jamma) entitled, "Love Thang."
