Early life and career


She was born Aye Myint in Myaungmya, a town in the Irrawaddy delta to musician parents. Her father, U Aye, was a hne (flute) musician while her mother Than Hnit was a singer with the stage name Myaungmya Than. She began singing at an early age.[4] By the 1980s, 80% of film soundtracks were sung by Mar Mar Aye.[4]

She emigrated to Fort Wayne, Indiana in the United States in 1998.[2][1] She has been politically active. During the Saffron Revolution, she released a song entitled "Heartache Till the End of the World" (အသည်းနာကမ္ဘာမကျေ). In 2012, she returned from exile to Myanmar, at the authorization of President Thein Sein.[5]

On 25 July 2012, she released a Burmese language memoir, Dear Friend, Look Deeply Into My Heart (ရင်ဖွင့်ကြည့်ပါသူငယ်ချင်း), which recounts the aftermath of her divorce in 1970.[2]
