Film Music Consultant - Composer Agent - Score Producer
Today, she works as a freelance music & image consultant, audiovisual composer agent and film music executive producer.
Founder of several picture composer agencies, the latest of which, Marie Sabbah Agency, is now called MSA (My Soundtrack Agency).
Member of the General Assembly of the César Awards since September 2020 in the "Artistic Agent" category.
Member of Sacem since 1980 as arranger-composer.
Classically trained at the Conservatoire à Rayonnement Régional (CNR) in Dijon (piano, solfège, harmony, analysis), Master of Musicology at the University of Paris VIII (Vincennes), Jazz training at the Conservatoire International de Musique (CIM) in Paris (big band orchestration, piano), Certificat de Pédagogie Musicale Active (Orff) at the ICP, and student of Maurice Coignard in Film Music Orchestration, these are the artistic and technical foundations that have shaped my career.
After a brief stint in music education, I discovered the profession of "musician-copist" in all musical genres, before specializing in film music. The quality of my "by ear" readings led me to collaborate with such prestigious and demanding composers as Gabriel YARED, Philippe SARDE, George DELERUE, Francis Lai and Ennio MORRICONE. At the same time, I have the opportunity to write arrangements and orchestrations for the Orchestre National d'Ile de France, followed by concerts with singer Wilhelmenia Fernandez (film "Diva").
In 1991, I created my first structure and co-produced live artists, albums, concerts and film soundtracks - Steve Shehan , Baly Othmani, Marc Copland, Drew Gress, Bruce Dunlap, Peter Herbert, etc...
In 1993, I concentrated mainly on representing film composers and supervising music for the audiovisual industry (cinema, television).
Until 2020, I represented more than seventy film composers, including Gabriel Yared, Pierre Adenot, Cyrille Aufort, Klaus Badelt, Eric Neveux, Nathaniel Méchaly, Eric Demarsan , Erwann Kermorvant , Jérôme Lemonnier , Selma Mutal, Chloé Thévenin, Christophe La Pinta, Philippe Kelly , Gilles Alonzo, etc...
As a musical supervisor or executive producer, I have produced over 250 film scores, including for the cinema:
Le Petit Nicolas (Laurent Tirard/Klaus Badelt) Splice (Vincenzo Natali/Cyrille Aufort) Welcome (Philippe Lioret/Nicola Piovani) Le Hérisson , Nos enfants nous accuseront, Le Bal des actrices, Coco et Igor (music by Gabriel Yared), L'affaire Farewell (Christian Carion/Klint Mansell), A la petite semaine, La Vérité ou Presque (Sam Karmann/Pierre Adenot) Paris Je T'aime (multiple directors/Pierre Adenot), SK1 (Frédéric Tellier / Christophe La Pinta), Marguerite (Xavier Gioanoli), Dans la maison, Une nouvelle amie, Frantz, Amant Double (François Ozon / Philippe Rombi), Carbone, Bronx (Olivier Marchal / Erwann Kermorvant), Le Fidèle (Mickael Roskam / Raf Keunen), Past Life and The Other Story (Avi Nesher/Cyrille Aufort).
