Marissa Ghavami is a multi-hyphenate, who started this amazing journey at a  young age. She is an actor, singer, voice over artist, producer, public speaker, coach and founder of a non-profit. I met her through a mutual friend while producing the film Killian and the Comeback Kids many years ago. We've kept in touch on her many new projects.

SBTS: Tell me how you got into acting.

Marissa Ghavami: I’ve felt drawn to acting for as long as I can remember. I first fell in love with it through old movie musicals. I was absolutely obsessed. I would act out the entirety of My Fair Lady, Bye Bye Birdie and The Sound of Music in front of a camcorder in my living room at 5 years old. I’d act and sing and dance all the parts and find household items for props and costumes.
