Growing up, both Marlee and Nathalie were surrounded by music. Their family members loved music and signing and playing instruments was part of their childhood.

Although Marlee and Nathalie grew up thousands of miles apart, they both continued to follow their passion for music and continued to sing. It was fate that brought them together, as life partners and musicians.

The lesbian music duo, Sugarbeach, live happily in their Vancouver home writing and producing their own music.

Since 2007 they have released two full albums, I Just Love Girls, and Not Deserted. Both were written and produced by Marlee and Nathalie under the Pink Productions label.

Sugarbeach has won numerous awards since releasing their first album in 2007, including Favorite Group of the Year in 2009, and Pride Song of the Year in 2010 for Living Out Proud.

For the 2011 North America Outgames, Marlee and Nathalie wanted to create a song that would encourage people to get involved and be proud. They wrote and produced the theme song for the Outgames, Come On Out.

The couple enjoy the variety that comes each day including the creative process they take to produce new music, preparing for their next concert, attending events and expanding their knowledge of music.

In the years to come, both Nathalie and Marlee are excited to continue on their musical journey. They are pioneering the way for LGBT musicians to come out and be part of the mainstream music industry.
