Mariama was born in a small village in Sierra Leone. On January 6, 1999, at the age of 14, she was captured by the RUF, where they chopped off her left arm and almost her right, leaving her for dead. After the brutal war, Mariama was chosen from an amputee camp to come to America as a refugee. The rest is history. Mariama has since then, gone on to become an aspiring motivational speaker, actress, and songwriter. One of her greatest passions is songwriting and composing music for herself and other artists. Putting God first has always been a major part of her testimony, stating; He is the creator of all things! She wrote her first hit song with an artist-writer/composer, Santonio. Since then, she has gone on to write and co-produce They Just Want My Body, Seasons of Laughter, Christ the Son and many more, released though her publishing company, Nio Music Worldwide.
