Marlene Atcheson grew up in Newcastle and started singing aged around 12 with her family backing her all the way. Marlene reflected ''I used to always sing around the house so my Mum started putting me into talent quests''. Marlene with a push from her mother entered her first talent quest aged 12 and won. Marlene travelled to Sydney twice a week for singing lessons. While still in Newcastle she became the youngest entertainer to appear on the Col Joye Show. She eventually moved to Sydney with her family. Marlene started to appear on ATN 7's Teen Time and then graduated to Johnny O'Keefe's Sing Sing Sing. She then appeared regularly on Bandstand, The Ernie Sigley Show, The Graeme Kennedy Show and at all the major clubs. She signed with RCA in 1965 and released three singles but none of them charted although they did get some airplay.
