Marisa Hart, born Toiréasa Figueredo on March 17, 1982, is an Aisling signer and celebrity preforming pop music, a genre which is increasing in popularity in Temuair and abroad.

Born in Gleneely, a suburb of Fife, in central Temuair, she began her singing and dance career at age 14, participating in a variety of children shows and modeling shoots before being signed with White Rider Records in 1999, at age 17. She was an instant success, with her first studio album reaching the number 1 slot on the Luas charts within a week of the albums release, and the title track earning over ten thousand hours of air time on radio stations within the first month of its release.

She is one of only two artists to receive the Luas Act of the Year award or two or more consecutive years, the other artist being <someone else>. She is one of the very few non-rock artists to achieve sustained fame within Temuair, though the high point of her success occurred from her debut in 2000 until 2009.

Along with other Aisling stars, including Jeana Shealy, Hart is widely considered to be one of the foremost Aisling sex symbols of the modern era.

Early life

Hart adopted the stage name "Marisa Hart" when she began signing at age 14. According to a 1997 interview with StarLine, she said she chose the name because it was easier to say and "prettier" than her given name. She legally changed her name to Marisa Hart in 2002.

Career

Hart was invited to preform at the first ever Luas Summer Festivals in 2013 at the Coello Fairgrounds in Fife, along with a host of other bands and musicians. She returned to the show again in 2014.

In mid-2008, Hart declined to renew her contract with White Rider Records which had carried her through career since she began signing professionally in 1999. She cited her decision to leave White Rider was "for the best." She signed a four year contract with Apex Recording starting in 2009. She agreed to a residency show at the Nuno Hotel in Fife starting in early February 2015 and running through the end of the year. The residency will consist of 21 shows through the end of November, 2015.

Personal life

In 2000, at age 18, Marisa became romantically involved with 38 year old Alexandre Arra, the lead singer of the rock group Lyonesse. Arra was, at the time, married to celebrity movie star Janele Toran. This relationship, cited as the probable cause of Toran and Arra's divorce later that year. Arra and Hart parted ways in mid 2001.
