Marisa Lynae Hampton was born on February 8th, 1999, the youngest of five children. She is a native Texan.

Marisa has loved theater and singing since she was very young. Her parents took her to see Phantom of the Opera at Dallas Fair Park when she had just turned 4 years old. Sitting on her booster seat with opera glasses she responded to the production with a hand on her heart saying "This is amazing!!" She sat on the edge of her seat the entire time without so much as a word.
