Mary Beth's music blends an R&B backbeat with haunting pure vocals. Using the piano or guitar as a base, Mary Beth then builds her music to create a pop/alternative sound with edgy heartfelt lyrics.
The talk around town is that Mary Beth sings & plays like Jewel, dances like Shakira, and plays the keys like Alicia!

How, do you think, does the internet (or mp3) change the music industry?
Has given more exposure to unsigned artist, which is great!
Would you sign a record contract with a major label?
Actually shopping for one currently, as long as they don't make me the next "Britney Spears!"
I do write, & produce my own stuff,, but I love working with great producers, get their ideas n' see what they can do with my songs!
