Rhema Marvanne (born Rhema Marvanne Voraritskul, September 15, 2002) is a gospel singer and actor from Carrollton, Texas, USA.
She is the daughter of Teton and Wendi "Mercy" Marvanne Voraritskul. Teton's father, Chai Voraritskul was an immigrant from Thailand,[2] while Wendi died of ovarian cancer on November 8, 2008 at the age of 36.[3][4] Rhema gained Internet fame at the age of six after recording her first song, "Amazing Grace". She appeared on the Maury Povich Show Most Talented Kids 2010, and Korean show Star King.[5]
She also appears in Gerard Butler's 2011 film Machine Gun Preacher where Butler plays a drug dealer-turned-crusader on a mission to save kids.
During his baptism, Rhema is actually singing "Amazing Grace"; at that particular moment Butler goes from a bad guy to a good guy, and then goes to South Africa to save all the little kids from the war—Teton Voraritskul, Rhema's father.[6]
Her self-titled debut album, Rhema Marvanne, was released October 15, 2010. She release her second album under the title "All seasons". She named her third "Believe", after the song included in the album.
