  Floetry met through their love of basketball and formed a friendship. Both attended The Brits Performing Arts School in the UK. Marsha majored in Music & Business and Finance and Natalie majored in Performing Arts & Theatre. After graduating both women continued to keep in touch. Natalie was a founding member of a poetry collective named 3 Plus 1 and stared in a few major ad campaigns and Marsha released a solo single and became a signed songwriter. After an annual catch up to congratulate each other on their progressions and solo successes, they decided to experiment with bringing their solo crafts together. The fusion became what went on to become Floetry.
