Biography Merveille was born in Seattle, Washington to a French father and a Japanese mother. She was raised in Japan's Kanagawa Prefecture, where she lived until the age of 14. While in her teens, her parents decided that she would receive education in the United States. She soon got involved in the art of DJing after returning to the US.
