When Marie danced on Mallorca she met DJ Sammy. She wanted to be a singer, Sammy gave her a chance to sing, they started recording songs under the name DJ Sammy featuring Carisma with "Life is Just a Game", which was their first hit (in 1996). This single was followed by "You Are My Angel", "Prince of Love" and "Golden Child". All of those songs were put together for their debut album Life Is Just A Game.

By Autumn, it was followed by another single "Hijo de la Luna" (a cover of the Spanish band Mecano) which also reached number 1 on the German charts. The next release was her debut solo album called Lunita,[1] which was an all-Spanish album.
