Electronica with an ambient/dance jazz flavor.
Primarily I'm a jazz vocalist who performs around Los Angeles. I love to scat, and contribute to others original music as I develop my own style and voice.

Story behind the song
Patrick (Lafayette) sent me these background tracks, and I added melody, lyrics and vocals. I just love his guitar playing, and I hope you will too.
Lyrics
White King lyrics and melody by mary mcgrath copyright 2008 All rights reserved There’s an old white king Sitting in his room He wants for nothing Yet he’s sleeping until noon What happened to his life When things were all in bloom? Did life simply pass him by Or wasn’t there any room For a man with wisdom Knowledge, strength Was he deemed too old To make it through the length Of days that skewed toward younger men Cheaper, stronger, new Bypassed because of corporate greed Balanced payrolls too... White king, where have you gone? What’s with our system? Something’s terribly wrong White king, where have you gone...... Looking for a white king.........
