It's finally going to happen!  Mary's New CD will be released this spring 2006!

Born in Ontario, Canada, the happy and energetic middle child of seven children, Mary's first start in the performing arts was at an early age taking ballet lessons and performing at the Eaton's Auditorium in Toronto, Canada. Although unable to pursue her dancing career, Mary enjoyed school performances and later studied music where she later played a musical instrument in a concert band. Mary loved to sing and would accompany known artists on the radio or television by harmonizing or singing along with them. It was not until her introduction to a friend, an opera singer, who encouraged Mary to combine her talents of singing and writing that she found her forte. He instructed Mary in her singing and introduced her to a small annual production where she participated in dance, skits and chorus. Her last two years in the productions were marked with her astounding solos and skilful talent in writing musical compositions for four part harmonies. Although Mary has continued to study guitar and writing composition, she has assisted other artists, including teachers, with her vocal and writing abilities in the recording industry. For many years she has been a back up artist for various bands and participated in charitable events and organizations. Mary follows in the footsteps of family members with varies artistic talents such as writers, painters and musicians, including her second cousin, Blake Fordham, also known as Kelly Jay, from the well know band, “Crowbar”. Of the many artists who inspired Mary in her singing and writing career, names such as, Faith Hill, Celine Dion, Amanda Marshall and Linda Ronstadt stand out. Although Mary likes the new country style of music, her vocal and writing talents have developed to other areas such as soft rock and blues. Two first place trophies in singing competitions in Toronto, Canada attest to her gifted and natural ability to inspire her audiences with emotion. Mary continues her dream of writing and singing with RBA records and a soon to be released CD of her own original compositions.

Mary has been selected by Music75 as Artist of the Week. Her song "Here I Am" is currently played on France’s Music Box radio 92.8 FM, also playing on its world-wide web radio.
