Daja Greer-Wilkerson, known as “Daja Marie”, is a talented Writer, Fashion Editor and singer/rapper/songwriter. Today, she is considered the youngest Fashion Editor on newsstands both Nationally and Internationally. Daja Marie is one of the hottest new songwriters to step into the music and entertainment industry. She is a very versatile singer/ rapper/ songwriter/ actress. There isn’t a specific genre of music that you can pinpoint with her. She raps, performs hip-hop, she’s a pop singer, writes country music, and even sings and writes neo-soul along with acting and writing jingles.

Daja Marie has always had a love for music and continues to be exceptionally good at word play. She is a small town girl from Mario, IN but without the small town mentality. She has always been an excellent student, achieving awards, scholarships and landing solo and major parts in advanced choir. At age 16, Daja Marie began writing songs about overcoming obstacles that most teenagers typically don’t experience.

Raised by both her grandmothers and an aunt, she began developing an eclectic and broad outlook on life while being bounced from house to house. Her father committed suicide when she was seven years old and her mother succumbed to drug abuse shortly after, so she was never around to care for her only child. Daja Marie had to grow up very fast. She has always been ahead of her time. She became very adventurous as a teen and what most would call, the life of the party. She traveled, partied and constantly got into trouble, things that she writes about all too well in her music.

She was discovered musically when she was too young to know the business and she never received any credit or capital for use of her lyrics and musical talent. Since then, she has worked hard to receive the knowledge needed for the business side of the music industry. Today, she is still constantly traveling and gaining new experiences to increase her brand awareness and network with potential music partners as well as engage with her ever-growing number of international fans.

Daja is the current Fashion Editor for The Hype Magazine. She is determined to not stop there. Her songs have risen to the top of the charts from the United States and even to Africa. Her first single, “Daja’s Cold” dropped at the end of July 2013 and became successful. Most people say, “She’s like the female Snoop Dogg,” after listening to the track. Daja Marie released her second single “Bank Rolls Like Monopoly,” in the spring of 2014. She has recorded a numerous amount of songs in which she plans to have placed on A list celebrity albums and in movies.

Daja Marie’s songs reflect her personal stories and she leads a life of excitement that no one could dare dispute. You rarely hear of this girl doing songs full of profanity with no meaning. She believes that you are only as accomplished as the people around you and that your circle begins to change as you grow in life. She hopes to one day become the world’s top Fashion Editor and Songwriter, all the while being a great wife and a business owner.

Her ultimate goal is to be a role model for all the young ladies who have endured similar pain that she has felt. With her music you can relate, dance, laugh, and cry all at the same time. Daja Marie doesn’t sugar coat a thing! Nobody’s perfect but she’ll sure make you feel like making mistakes are learning experiences that you can sometimes do without or just laugh about later.

Her internal fortitude has enabled her to focus her energy on the positive as opposed to being crushed by the weight of these life-changing scenarios. Her music is the catharsis by which she has healed and now she is fully ready to share her life story with the world through song.
