In cabaret, Marthie believes you have great musical freedom to think outside the box,
forever turning hooks and drum beats. To communicate life and mutual life experiences;
to touch somebody’s life; to make people laugh and cry… She sings about being lonely,
happy or lost, the joys of motherhood, perfect worlds that do not exist, and how to find
yourself amidst the chaos that life brings.
