BIO
​
The music of Ladies of Opportunity - THE LOOP , a Boston-based duo, captures emotion with its genre-blending fusion of pop, R&B, HipHop and Spoken Word! Marcia and M’Zariah bonded through their childhood and high school friendship by writing and performing music to uplift, motivate and reflect self-love!
The young teens formed THE LOOP to embark on a musical journey reflecting their vision of how one can achieve in life. In the singles, “See Me Beyond My Skin” and “Affirmations”, released February 2021 and March 2021, THE LOOP projects confidence, strengthening self worth and discovery. Committed to exploring opportunity and promise, these high school honor students bring their unique spin to old and new sounds.
THE LOOP lives music! —- at Boston Arts Academy High School during the day, at Berklee College of Music Summer Music Programs, and performing live at venues in the city. Boston Public Library awarded THE LOOP a songwriting residency to create original music content.
"In our music we talk about self-acceptance, self-love, and of humbleness and self-motivation.” “We believe these topics are important to talk about, because as a teenagers, it’s sometimes hard to understand what self-love really means.” "About You", released January 2022, shares an awareness about conflict and polarizing behavior.
THE LOOP’s music releases on all streaming platforms, and is placed on playlists. Local performances include Hard Rock Cafe, Loretta’s Last Call, The Tamboo Lounge, and partnerships with Performers on the GO. The duo was also featured in print in Bay State Banner newspaper, Rattler Magazine, Gas Mask Magazine; interviewed on Urban Heat 98.1FM and Pure Spark, a webinar. In August 2022, THE LOOP also appeared in a televised promotion for the Jennifer Hudson Show (August 17, 2022 WCVB5 -TV ABC).

Speaking truth to power about the personal experience of skin color and all that means in this world, the track is very engaging. Often in music there may be the impulse to dazzle, to blow the roof off the place, in order to be seen, be heard. The Loop takes the route of firm messaging and thoughtful prose, clever writing getting the message across well. I got a sense of the singer’s life, a taste of what goes through their mind, of how they have to consider the world as they are aware of how the world considers them. Gas Mask Magazine

It’s the pinnacle of elegance as it confronts subconscious and conscious prejudice and invites the listener to look deeper when attempting to understand women of color the single possesses plenty of sonic power, but the real weight in this single is how it allows you to find compassion for people who are in view, but never truly seen. Hopefully, one day, we’ll have to heed the words or artists such as The Loop who are bringing that day closer with their melodic grooves, unfiltered lyrics and harmonically sweet vocals.-AnR Factory

The duo is creating their own space in music, and is showing the power of their bond, and the strength we all have to influence perceptions and invite others to see all the potential that exists if we open our hearts and minds to a future full of opportunity and promise. Their creativity, soulful talent, and unique approach of merging genres enables them to project emotions, foster connections and understanding, and deliver thought driven and impactful entertainment.-Performers on the go
​
Bibbins and Starr write about universal topics to engage not only listeners their own age, but multigenerational music lovers. They address powerful subject matter in their music but aim to spread a message of positivity, love and acceptance. In addition to inspiring others, the musicians use songwriting and performing as part of their own self-love practice.- The Baystate Banner
